Roy Keane explains how Manchester United can beat Arsenal

Manchester United great Roy Keane has explained how the Red Devils can get back to winning ways against Arsenal tonight.

Old Trafford is the venue for another tussle between two of the most successful teams of the Premier League era.

But after a disappointing 2-0 defeat at West Ham last time out for United in the league, Keane insists the basics must be adhered to so that the three points are secured.

Keane made an appearance on Sky Sports News ahead of his punditry stint on Monday Night Football and spoke about what he expects from his old side.

Asked who needs it more, Keane told Sky Sports: "I would say United, particularly being the home team. They have had a tough start. I hope United turn up tonight with a good performance.

"Hunger, desire, quality. They have to give everything they have got and hunt in packs. They must close people down and get some goals."

Arsenal have endured a mixed start to the season and Keane says that United will want to target the Gunners' back four, though he acknowledges the Red Devils have issues of their own.

"I have no doubt they (United) would have done their homework and they will be able to see the weaknesses in Arsenal which is certainly their back four and their two centre-backs," Keane added.

"But it's a difficult one to call. They need a reaction from last week and that's why fingers crossed they can do it."
