Roy Keane as Manchester United player

Being a Manchester United boss is not an easy job and over the years we’ve seen many managers coming the scrutiny for not getting the results expected as a massive club like United. Roy Keane had his say as to how he would oversee the proceedings. 

‘So the first thing, you’d walk into the club, pull them two ‘I’ve been really critical… prove me wrong, And that’s the end of the conversation. If they get upset, no problem, players are upset all the time.’ said Keane. 

He further added ‘It’s not about the players liking the manager. The most important thing is, you hope, that the players respect the manager.’

Whether or not Manchester United will keep on improving under Ralf Rangnick or a new boss coming but the performance will always be under a microscope if you’re a Manchester United player, the question is whether or not you can handle the pressure.
