Roy Keane blames Sir Alex Ferguson 'hanging on like a bad smell' for Man United's decline and bad decisions - after stand-in manager Darren Fletcher called him for advice... and Daniel Sturridge's reaction says it all!

Roy Keane has blamed Manchester United's decay on Sir Alex Ferguson 'hanging on like a bad smell'.

The Old Trafford legend, who famously fell out with Sir Alex in 2005, believes United's powerbrokers are holding the club back with weak decision-making.

Caretaker manager Darren Fletcher admitted he asked for Ferguson's blessing before taking on the role - despite the Scot retiring in 2013.

Yet Fergie's old boy could only muster a 2-2 draw at Burnley and Keane fears the slid will only continue unless United's chiefs make the right choice about the future manager.
