NOT ALL BAD

United skipper Roy Keane reckons United might look back on Sunday’s 'average' display against Newcastle and feel it was the one which won them another Premiership title.

"Over the years we have won championships by grinding out results when we haven't played well, so hopefully that is how we will look back on this one at the end of the season," said Keane.

"It was a pretty average performance and though we improved in the second half, it wasn't too difficult considering the way we played in the first. The supporters will be disappointed because our home form has been brilliant over the last year or two but if we won every game, nobody would come to watch."
