'Absolutely not!' - Roy Keane insists Man Utd cannot salvage season with Europa League win amid Gary Neville row

Premier League

Chelsea

Manchester United

<p>The <a href="https://m.skybet.com/" target="_blank">Stick to Football</a> panel debated whether a Europa League win would represent a successful season for Manchester United, with differing views on the matter. Whereas Keane believes that United cannot paper over the cracks, Neville has claimed that United qualifying for the Champions League would mask a multitude of sins.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>United sit 13th in the Premier League table and are 15 points behind the top four. As a result, the Europa League offers their last hope to qualify for Europe's premier club competition.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Keane said that United should not be targeting just the Europa League. He said: “Not that trophy, no.</p><p>“Not for Manchester United, maybe for other teams winning that trophy. There is a plus to it, because it’ll get them into the Champions League, but the trophy and that competition shouldn’t be enough for United, absolutely not.”</p><p>Neville disagreed, replying: “The reason I’d say it’ll be successful is because United couldn’t win the league this season, we knew that right from the start. So they could only win three trophies – the&nbsp;FA Cup, League Cup and the Europa League. If they won one of them, I’d say that’s successful.</p><p>“There is a big ‘but’ - they’ve sacked a manager and are 13th in the league and that’s bad.”</p>

WHAT KEANE AND NEVILLE SAID

<p>United face Lyon on Thursday. They will then play Newcastle this weekend before the second leg at Old Trafford.</p>
