Roy Keane has said that he is now 'sad rather than angry' at the situation unfolding at Manchester United.

The 20-time English champions suffered a 4-0 defeat at Liverpool in the Premier League on Tuesday evening, which saw them drop into sixth position in the table behind Arsenal.

The Red Devils now face an uphill task to qualify for next season's Champions League, and a difficult campaign has seen them put in a number of underwhelming performances.

Former Man United captain Keane has claimed that "there is disarray at the club from the top" and has said that he is 'saddened' to watch what is unfolding at Old Trafford.

"It's not anger, it was anger earlier in the season. It's sadness," Keane told Sky Sports News. "You look at the team today, there wasn't any heart, no soul, no leaders, they lack real quality. They are so far off and you look at the United fans tonight... there's no surprise with the scoreline, but Liverpool could score any time they went forward.

"There is disarray at the club from the top. The fans have no time for the owners. They need a new manager, they need players in, they need players out... it's so sad to see. It's not the club I played for. It doesn't reflect what Man Utd stood for when I played for it. It's chalk and cheese.

"I don't see a Manchester United team out there fighting and playing with pride. There's no hiding. At this level you get found out. It's so sad watching this team."

Keane's former Man United teammate Paul Scholes, meanwhile, said that Ralf Rangnick's side were "disgusting to watch" at Anfield.
