Anthony Elanga saved United’s blushes with an equaliser in the first leg of the last-16 clash between the two clubs.
But his side were unconvincing on the night with the Spanish side dominating.
And Keane reckons his old side need to be more ruthless on and off the pitch.
The 50-year-old Irishman exclaimed: “You go and get the manager you want.
“You should go and get the right manager you think is right for your club.
“Never mind making excuses saying he’s not available for two years.
“You pay fortunes for players, so why not a manager?
“I don’t care who’s under contract. If you think he’s the right manager for Manchester United, well you go and get him.
“It can soon change. I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom, there’s still good things going on at United, but they’ve got to get the manager.
“If the manager is not right, then the rest will just fall apart.”
