Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane says that the Red Devils still have a lot of work to do if they are to become Premier League title challengers once again.

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has insisted that the Red Devils still have a lot of work to do if they are to become challengers for the Premier League title once again.

United have not won the league since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013, while they currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, some 37 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool.

Keane has accepted that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have shown positive signs in 2020 but has claimed that the club are "still a long way" behind the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.

"There is certainly a feel-good factor back at United over the last couple of games," Keane told Sky Sports News. "There's also the thought in the back of your mind where you think if Paul Pogba can come back and Marcus Rashford can get fit this season, it would be a big boost for them.

"But it's still a long way back for United yet, they are a long way behind Manchester City and Liverpool. The signs are obviously a lot better than they were 6-12 months ago, the signings have all settled in well and will only get better with time.

"If we get around to playing games and they can have a good finish to the season, get one or two very good players again in the summer then that's another big step in terms of their recovery, but there is still a bit to go."

United are just three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the table, although there is no guarantee that the season will be allowed to finish due to the coronavirus pandemic.
