For the longest time, Roy Keane was one of the vital cogs in the Manchester United machinery. Unfortunately, even with Keano’s departure, it seemed that that vital piece of machinery went with him. This has left the Manchester United machine gasping at some points, which was apparent in the season after Keano leaving Old Trafford.
But it looks like the large shadow that Keane has cast over the team is finally lifting even though Sir Alex Ferguson is still looking for that intense player that would most likely replace Keano and make the kind of contributions the latter made. Even though Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick are more than adept at their stated roles midfield roles but Sir Alex is still quite convinced that the team needs another powerhouse and he has identified Owen Hargreaves as the man for the job. Sir Alex has proven time and again that he has an almost uncanny ability of identifying what the Red Devils need and he has consistently delivered time and again. I still support Sir Alex’s decision and can’t wait how this season will end for Manchester United.
