Former Manchester United ace Roy Keane has backed manager Alex Ferguson's claims and insisted the Old Trafford side will still challenge for major honours without Wayne Rooney.
The England star looks set to leave Old Trafford after he questioned the club's ambition and ability to win the biggest prizes. But former Manchester United midfielder Keane believes the club will move on.
The Ipswich Town boss said at a press conference: "Players have opinions and if they want to leave then good luck to them. Man United will more than survive."
Keane left United when he blasted some of the younger players, but when asked if the club side can still attract top quality stars, he said: "Absolutely, of course, absolutely. "If any player ever asked me, and one or two have, if they had a chance of signing for Manchester United, 'do it, you won't regret it.' I was there for 12 and a half years I loved every minute of every day playing for that club, every minute of every day.u00a0 I had chances to leave, many opportunities when my contract situation was running out, particularly when I came back from my cruciate. An amazing and brilliant football club."
