Arsene Wenger has hit back at Roy Keane, saying he should understand Jack Wilshere's struggles against Ostersunds after labelling the Arsenal midfielder as 'the most overrated player on the planet'.
Former Manchester United captain Keane ripped into at Wilshere's role as skipper of a team that showed 'no energy and no desire' on Thursday night.
But Wenger has stepped in to defend his prized midfield asset from Keane's barbs — although admitted he was far from his best in the Europa League second leg.
Wilshere struggled in midfield against the Swedish minnows — Wenger, though, suggested Keane had suffered from similarly poor performances in his career as a player.
