Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane acknowledges Arsenal’s strides but identifies a major obstacle – Manchester City.
Arsenal’s heartbreaking second-place finish last season still stings. While Keane sees undeniable improvement, the shadow of the reigning champions looms large.
“Manchester City are the problem,” Keane stated. “Just like Liverpool before them. They’re one of the best ever, making it incredibly difficult for Arsenal and others.”
The Race Continues, But City Holds the Cards
The season isn’t over, but Keane emphasizes the pressure Arsenal puts on City. “They need to force City to win every game left. That’s the only option. No more meltdowns like last year.”
Belief in the Gunners, But Room for Growth
“I believe Arsenal has the potential,” Keane continued. “They’ll push City to the limit.”
While acknowledging Arsenal’s undeniable improvement through acquisitions and experience, he warns against complacency. “Games like Aston Villa might haunt them later, but progress is undeniable.”
The Future Hinges on Continued Growth
Keane emphasizes the importance of summer acquisitions. “They need to keep getting better to compete with the phenomenal Manchester City,” he concluded on Sky Sports.
