'I don't see it' - Roy Keane brutally writes off Man Utd's title chances despite huge transfer
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has expressed skepticism regarding the club's Premier League title prospects despite significant summer spending. Keane argues that while the midfield has been bolstered, the team's defensive vulnerabilities remain a critical barrier to success.
