Roy Keane has warned that Manchester United are in need of at least six new “top quality” players in the summer if they are to reverse their ailing fortunes.

The Red Devils’ stuttering form under new manager David Moyes continued on Tuesday night as they slumped to a surprise 2-0 Champions League last-16 defeat at Olympiacos.

United, who are sixth in the Premier League and already out of both domestic cup competitions, are now on the brink of European elimination.

And former midfielder Keane feels that a radical overhaul of United’s squad is needed if the club are to become title challengers once again.

“I think United need six top quality players,” Keane told ITV. “I would think David Moyes has been shocked.

“I think when he went into United in the summer he probably looked at the players and was expecting great things.

“Privately, he’s probably been shocked at the lack of quality he’s working with.

“There’s some players playing tonight for Man United who just aren’t showing enough quality.”

Moyes’ side are currently sixth in the Premier League, 15 points behind leaders Chelsea and 11 behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
