Roy Keane delivers brutal Man United prediction despite signs of improvement in opening day defeat by Arsenal

Roy Keane has launched a scathing verdict on Manchester United, insisting they are heading for a disappointing Premier League campaign after falling to defeat against Arsenal.

Ruben Amorim’s side showed flashes of progress, with Mathus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko all handed opportunities in a reshaped attack. But it wasn’t enough to prevent an opening day defeat.

A 13th-minute header from Ricardo Calafiori proved decisive, with the Italian defender punishing a costly blunder from reserve goalkeeper Altay Bayindir to give Arsenal the three points points.

Amorim struck an optimistic tone after the match, insisting 'we were not boring' – a verdict swiftly dismissed by Keane.
