Roy Keane names Man City’s biggest challengers after Arsenal beat Man Utd

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes Arsenal will be Manchester City’s main rivals this season.

Keane was speaking on Sky Sports after Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3-1 on Sunday.

The visitors took the lead through Marcus Rashford, but goals from Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Gabriel Jesus turned the game around for Arsenal.

As a result, Mikel Arteta’s men sit equal second, two points behind Manchester City.

Keane believes they can give the champs a run for their money.

“Last year, Arsenal proved to be the best of the rest, and I believe they are currently the strongest group among the other teams.”

“I still believe the gap to Man City exists, but this is a significant improvement.”

The momentum, spirit and quality it gives them. The feel-good factor is with Arsenal.

“If they had dropped points today, I think it would have been a huge step back for them.

“However, it’s chalk and cheese with the result against Fulham and they have a big spring in their step now,” Keane said
