Roy Keane predicts where Man Utd will finish this season after crushing Liverpool defeat

Roy Keane has made his prediction for where he thinks Manchester United will finish following their humbling 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool.

United suffered their second consecutive defeat on Sunday as Arne Slot's Liverpool ran away comprehensive 3-0 winners at Old Trafford following goals from Mo Salah and Luis Diaz.

United started the game brightly, but all their good work was undone through two costly mistakes from Casemiro who gave the ball away for both first-half goals.

The Brazilian was brutally hooked by Erik ten Hag at half-time, but the Dutch manager came out in defense of the midfielder during his full-time press conference.

Following the match, Roy Keane was asked whether he was going to stick to his guns after previously predicting United to finish ahead of Liverpool, who have maximum points so far.

"I'm going to stick with United, I have to. I still think United will get in the top four," Keane explained.

Fellow Sky pundit Daniel Sturridge wasn't impressed with Keane's comments swiftly replying: "You're just saying it just to say it Roy."

Fellow United representative Gary Neville was also asked the same question and appeared to have the same blind confidence as his former captain.

"Yeah, why not?" Neville said resulting in an uproar in laughter from the panel.

"You know what I mean why not? I'm a Manchester United fan, Liverpool and City have been outstanding.

"Liverpool will have challenges this season, Liverpool are a better team than Manchester United at this moment in time of course they are but I'm going to back my team. Course I'm going to back my team," Neville concluded.

United head to Southampton after the international break before their opening Carabao Cup clash at home to Barnsley.

It's fair to say if those two fixtures don't go to plan Neville and Keane may have entirely new perspectives on United's hopes and ambitions for the season.
