VIDEO: Roy Keane drops some hard truths as he assesses Manchester United’s decline

So he does have a heart

Roy Keane’s not angry, he’s just disappointed.

Pundits such as Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand and Dwight Yorke openly display their allegiance to Manchester United in their analysis, and therefore seem more in touch with the views of United fans.

However, we reckon Roy Keane’s take on United’s current plight arguably best resonates with the views of fans.

The Republic of Ireland assistant manager, former United captain and nemesis of Alex Ferguson was speaking on ITV following United’s exit to Liverpool in the last-16 Europa League tie on Thursday night.

United drew the game 1-1, but the damage had been done following a pitiful performance at Anfield in the first-leg when they lost 2-0.

Rather than lay into Louis van Gaal’s side, as he did when analysing Arsenal earlier this week, Keane surprisingly spoke like a fan of the club when dissecting their decline.
