And even Arsenal, getting the one goal, that\u2019s a worry,\u201d Keane said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou wonder why Arsenal keep coming up short. They\u2019re still happy enough to sit in at 1-0. Is that why they drew so many games last year?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompare them to a Man City or a Liverpool, they\u2019re always thinking \u2018Let\u2019s go and get the second\u2019. Even on a bad day with Liverpool, you think they will score two or three goals. That\u2019s the challenge for Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the first day of the season, their sharpness will improve. Saka, Odegaard, Rice \u2014 I think there is a lot more to come from them. But you take the win on the first game of the season, and obviously a clean sheet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gary Neville insists this was a \u201cbig\u201d result for Arteta despite Arsenal not being close to their best at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Neville said: \u201cArsenal really dug in. They showed a lot of resilience. We know how good they are defensively. Raya made some really good saves and the back four got better as the game went on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArsenal were never at their best but to come to Manchester, whether it is Old Trafford or Man City\u2019s ground, it\u2019s always tough. To get 3 points is big for Mikel Arteta.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roy Keane believes an Arsenal \u201cworry\u201d highlighted by their win over Manchester United on Sunday may be the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[2725,18,793,19,17,20,5,5788,132,5279],"class_list":{"0":"post-5649","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-front-page","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-manchester-united","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-roy-keane","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-uncategorized"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
