After Wayne Rooney, it was Roy Keane’s turn to declare that MU must aim to win the championship instead of the top 3.
After the draw with Aston Villa in the 22nd round of the Premier League , MU was still standing at 7th place in the Premier League, 5 points behind the Champions League group and 24 points behind the top team Man City. The disappointing performance of the “Red Devils” from the beginning of the season made Cristiano Ronaldo unhappy.

Roy Keane implied that Ronaldo was too modest when aiming for the top 3 in the Premier League with MU
In an interview with Sky Sport on January 10, the Portuguese superstar stated that he wanted MU to at least finish in the top 3 final: “MU must win the championship or rank 2nd or 3rd. I do not accept any other rankings or achievements less than the position in the top 3.”
Recently, the once-legendary of MU, Roy Keane bluntly countered Ronaldo’s statement because, according to him, the top 3 goal is too … modest.
“I don’t agree with that opinion. If you wear the MU shirt, you have to think that you are always at the top. We have talked about this many times and clearly, MU must be number 1. In fact, the The current position is not in their favor. The performance and recent results of the whole team are also not convincing,” Roy Keane announced on Sky Sport.
Before Roy Keane, another MU legend, Wayne Rooney , also disagreed with CR7 about the top 3 goal: “MU must be the leading team, not the top 3, those are also the requirements set by the fans for the top three. They are going through a difficult period, but make no mistake. That is the pressure we face when wearing the MU shirt.”
MU is revealing many problems after nearly 2 months of being led by interim coach Ralf Rangnick. In addition to the undefined gameplay, the media revealed that many disgruntled players appeared with Rangnick and began to find a way out.
When asked to name those who could be retained by coach Rangnick as the core of the team in the future, Roy Keane did not hesitate to name Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Raphael Varane.

“How many players should MU keep? I really don’t know, maybe it’s Bruno Fernandes or Ronaldo, who are not deeply immersed in the current desperate situation. MU also owns Varane and a few young players. talent”.
In addition, the former Irish midfielder advised Rangnick to aggressively chase players who do not meet professional requirements to bring in quality rookies, richer in desire: “Obviously Rangnick can’t be satisfied. The top coach comes here, he needs to look at the contracts of the first team players, find a way to push a few people away and bring in quality, hungry rookies.”
