Manchester United: Roy Keane's frustration

The draw left Manchester United languishing at a lowly 13th after nine games. So far, they have managed just 10 points in the Premier League with a mere two wins. Roy Keane, who currently works as a pundit at Sky Sports, was disappointed to see the lack of goalscoring options at United. In the aftermath of their draw at home to Liverpool, Keane urged his former side to break the bank and get Tottenham striker Harry Kane to lead the line. In what felt like an argument with ex-United player Gary Neville, Keane pointed out the fact United have been toothless in front of goal this season, having managed just 10 goals in 9 games.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer allowed Romelu Lukaku to join Inter Milan earlier in the summer without getting an adequate replacement. Marcus Rashford has not been able to convince in the central starting role, despite scoring on Sunday. The other option - Anthony Martial - has been battling injuries while Mason Greenwood is only 17 and too young to be thrusted into the fray. Roy Keane believes a marque signing is needed to address the situation and Harry Kane seems to fit the bill.
