Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane praised the team’s improved performances after their thrilling 3-2 victory over Arsenal but maintained that Michael Carrick is not the right choice for the permanent manager’s role.

According to Sky Sports on Monday, Keane stated this after the match on Sunday.

“Two great performances but anyone can win two games,” Keane said on Sky Sports following the dramatic 3-2 win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

“If United win every game until the end of the season, I still wouldn’t be giving him the job. I still wouldn’t be convinced he’s the man for the job. Absolutely not

“They need a bigger and better manager. The size of the club and the challenges they face over the next few years, you want a manager who you feel can get them winning league titles.

“Are we going to sit here and believe Michael Carrick can get United winning league titles? It’s not enough for me. I don’t believe he is the man to get them winning league titles.”

Commenting on their performance against Arsenal, Keane said, “Given where they are now and where they’ve come from, there was a bit of swagger and a sense of calm in their play.”

“Two brilliant strikes and players off the bench had a big influence. You see the United fans in the corner, it’s a bit like the old days.

“Carrick’s done really well. Two brilliant performances. They showed real quality.” Kean added.
