Was he still the best option out there? We obviously don\u2019t know what other managers they spoke to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the fact he was winning football matches\u2026 but still huge problems at United. Huge problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keane has also revealed two key areas for Carrick to fix this summer, while he has one main concern about United\u2019s boss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s going to be part of his remit now in terms of recruitment, getting players in, getting some physicality in the middle of the park, stop giving up the amount of goals they\u2019ve been giving, that\u2019s now the bigger picture he\u2019s got to try and fix,\u201d Keane added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/premier-league-title-race-relegation-records-run-in\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everything still to be decided in the Premier League run-in: Title, relegation, records and more<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cSo they\u2019re the big challenges and obviously over the next few months any time they have a little sticky patch, the issue will be, has he got the experience to cope with it?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s managed Middlesbrough previously, he\u2019s had spells at United. He\u2019s got the opportunity and good luck to him, if he does well fantastic. I\u2019ve got my doubts but we\u2019ll wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems like a safe decision from the club\u2019s point of view because their previous decision backfired on them. Carrick\u2019s come in and settled everybody down and they\u2019ve won some football matches. To me, it\u2019s the safest decision and sometimes there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike a child\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keane has also been critical of Amad Diallo after his weak attempt to defend for Morato\u2019s goal for Forest on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFantastic, absolutely amazing from Elliot Anderson,\u201d Keane said of Amad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/times-premier-league-race-went-to-final-day-what-happened-next\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Ten times the Premier League title race went to the final day and what happened next<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally poor from United here.
