Man Utd fans fume as calls for Roy Keane to be named manager continue

Manchester United fans are fuming with the managerial situation at the club as they continue to call for Roy Keane to be named manager.

Many fans want to see the club legend and pundit given the job - at least on an interim basis until the end of the season.

The former Ireland assistant hasn't held back in scathing criticism of his old club and their players in the weeks in the lead up to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking on Sunday morning.

And many fans would love to see Keane put his money where his mouth is and turn things around at Old Trafford.

However, bookies aren't behind the fans as Keano's backed as high as 100/1 to become the next permanent Man Utd manager.

Despite Michael Carrick getting off to a winning start as caretaker boss last night against Villareal, fans are still fuming with the situation and want to see Keane appointed to the hot seat on either an interim or permanent basis.

On fan said: "Roy Keane should be Man United’s interim manager."

"Maybe Utd should be bring in Roy Keane as manager until the end of the season. I guarantee you he would somewhat sort out their midfield because he gets it," another added.

"Appoint Roy Keane as Interim with Paul Scholes as his assistant. Take Nicky butt in the staffing. Try for Erik Ten Hag as full time manager next summer. Act like a big club," one suggested.

Another tweeted: "The reason why so many #mufc fans want Roy Keane as manager is because of his attitude to winning. Fans want to see this in every player wearing the jersey."
