Best In The World? Are We Kidding Ourselves?

Last updated : 26 February 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

Many claim the Premier League is the best league in the world ... but are we kidding ourselves?

Former United captain Roy Keane took a shot at Michael Carrick and warned that some players will have no future at the club after the Red Devils suffered a painful 2-0 Champions League defeat to Olympiacos.

Keane also claimed manager David Moyes would have been "shocked at the lack of quality" in the team he inherited from Sir Alex Ferguson last summer.

Roy Keane: "Carrick's post match interview was just like the performance: flat. He should say a bit more, have a bit more urgency even in his interview.

"They keep saying, 'Ah, well, next game, next game'. For some of them there won't be another game for them. That's the reality.

"I don't think any of us could have predicted that.

"They (United) just never turned up.

"They (Olympiacos) were very, very good and technically they were better than United tonight.

"There's a number of things: new manager, new ideas. United have missed out on some players over the past two years.

"There's some players playing tonight for Man United who just aren't showing enough quality.

"I think United need six top quality players.

"We've been brainwashed by this 'Premier League is the best league in the world' (talk).

"Nonsense. It's the best brand, but we've seen over the past few weeks with a lot of the English teams struggling that these teams have fallen behind the top teams in Europe, and United in particular."
