MANCHESTER UNITED manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer invited former skipper Roy Keane to United’s training ground to talk to the club’s current squad.

The Irishman shared his thoughts on what it takes to succeed at Old Trafford, but was reportedly left unimpressed by one player who appeared disinterested and slouched in his chair.

Solskjaer has been keen to give his young team an insight into the club’s winning DNA.

Among those to visit and give their thoughts to the squad so far have been Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Darren Fletcher.

But there is an aura around Keane and most of the squad were looking forward to seeing what he had to say.

It was believed to be the first time he had been to Carrington since his acrimonious Manchester United departure back in 2005.

And a training ground source told the Mirror of Keane’s visit: “As youd imagine Roy has strong views on what it takes to be a proper United player and he gave it them straight.

“He wasnt impressed with one player who didnt seem to be all that interested and looked as if hed rather be somewhere else.

“But for the majority it was a fascinating snapshot into the hunger and desire that drove Roy during his time at the club.

Keane is notorious for not holding back, and has ripped into the current United team on a number of occasions.

Back in October the 48-year-old, working for Sky Sports, was disgusted to see Fred and Andreas Pereira laughing and joking with fellow Brazilians Roberto Firmino and Fabinho ahead of the clash with Liverpool.

He said: “Im disgusted with the players. Youre going to war!

“Theyre hugging and kissing dont even look at the opposition, youre going into battle with them.

Clearly his visit had the right effect, with United having performed superbly in huge wins this week over Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
