Louis van Gaal: Saw his side dumped out of the FA Cup
Roy Keane claims that Louis van Gaal should get "two or three years" to prove himself as Manchester United manager despite a trophyless season.
"Van Gaal is going to get criticised, you'd expect that," said Keane on the BBC's coverage of United's FA Cup exit to Arsenal. "Give the man a chance - two or three years.
"They should have given David Moyes more time but didn't. What are they going to do? Chop and change again? Van Gaal has been in the door two minutes. It takes time. It's literally a rebuilding job.
"It would be a disaster [if United don't finish in top four]. The big problem with people at the club and ex-players is they keep looking back comparing teams from ten years ago. They have got to look forward.
"Focus on the players, focus on the manager...get right behind him. I still think they have enough to get in that top four."
Keane was extremely critical of United's defending for both Arsenal goals, with right-back Antonio Valencia most culpable.
"I'm looking at it in terms of the defending, and character and putting your body on the line," said Keane. "The lads have just downed tools there.
"Blind and Valencia - it's absolutely disgraceful. Schoolboy errors and that’s what costs your team. Big moments in a football match and if you give Arsenal, with the quality that they have, that type of freedom that’s what happens.
"It was too easy, shocking. Absolutely disgraceful."
