Kean slams old club Manchester United
Speaking on Sky Sports’ coverage of the match on Friday, Keane stated that the days when every player dreamt of moving to Old Trafford are over, as the team currently lacks quality in all areas.

The former midfielder believes that United are "not really good at anything," highlighting their 18th league loss of the season as evidence of their decline.
"What are the positives with this team?" asked the former United captain.
"You sit up and watch certain teams, and you hang your hat on something. You say they're really technically very good, they're fit, they're brilliant, they're good at set-pieces. You look at United and go, they're not really good at anything.
"If they don't win [the Europa League final] next week, I think the days of everyone wanting to go to Manchester United are gone. I don't think there'll be players looking to sign for Manchester United. That's gone, that bit of excitement with the club.”

Furthermore, Keane observed a sense of resignation among the United supporters and even in manager Ruben Amorim's post-match comments.
"The fans, even here tonight, I don't think the United fans are angry anymore,” noted the ex-midfielder. “It's just an acceptance. Even the manager's interview there, he's accepting where they are.

"And I don't think the manager [Amorim] did. And more importantly, I don't think the players believed they could come and win tonight.
"And even the Chelsea manager [Enzo Maresca], he's patronising them by saying: 'Oh, they played well, they pressed us, they were 1v1. They're dangerous. We watched them a few times.’”
What’s next for Man Utd?
The Red Devils complete their Premier League season against Aston Villa on May 25, four days after the Europa League final.
