Manchester United legend Roy Keane commented on David Moyes' reign as manager yesterday. Keane was speaking at his book launch.
"There were certainly circumstances when he took over. You're still taking over a good team but what you don't need, and Man United were always pretty good at it, was that uncertainty there was obviously with [Nemanja] Vidic, Rio [Ferdinand], [Patrice] Evra, Giggsy [Ryan Giggs] coming to the end, so all that stuff didn't help.
"What you need in football, more than anything else, is a couple of victories, some momentum and they never seemed to get that. I was going to Old Trafford and there was a lot of negativity around. They got no momentum and it was as if David Moyes was snookered from the first few weeks.
"That negativity can get into the dressing room and that's why I felt it was a weak dressing room. They should have dealt with that and the players should have done better. Whatever has gone on - the politics, managers leaving, lack of players coming in - they should have done better and they did let him down, without a shadow of a doubt."
