      But now Keane has returned to law firm Brandsmiths
      However, with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership following the announcement of the Glazers’ intention to sell, some positions behind-the-scenes face being unfilled.
      According to The Athletic, Keane – appointed on a temporary basis as a replacement for Matt Judge last June – turned down the offer of a full-time position in favour of returning to law firm Brandsmiths, where he specialises in sports contracts.
      During his stay at United, Keane helped to negotiate the transfer deals for Casemiro and Antony.
      This included flying to Spain with football director John Murtough to complete Casemiro’s contract talks.

      But having not worked on any of United’s January deals, Keane’s loss means the club are now missing a vital cog in their transfer negotiation department.
      It is a position the club are hoping to fill by the end of the season.
      The Red Devils have come on leaps and bounds since the start of the season in large part thanks to Ten Hag and the arrival of Casemiro.
      The Brazilian’s suspension for the game against Arsenal proved fatal as United fell to a late 3-2 defeat.

      But United still lack the necessary quality in a number of areas in order to compete with the league leaders and cross-town rivals Manchester City.
      A top-class striker has been made the priority on Ten Hag’s summer shortlist, with Harry Kane his No1 target.
      However, the Tottenham ace is now reportedly open to signing a new contract at the club in a stunning U-turn.
      In terms of club ownership, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has publicly announced his intention to buy United.
      This being said, Britain’s richest man might need to fork out as much as £9billion to buy United. More

      Ten Hag said: “I am annoyed and I told the players if you want to win titles and medals, you have to change the mentality.
      “You are in a top game and you are making such big mistakes.
      “We started the game very well, scored, are leading and then make so many mistakes that are actually unacceptable.
      “You have to feel the game, realise that the maximum we would take from it at that moment was a point and then take that point.

      “You cannot give such a goal away as we did or you can’t win trophies.
      “We’ve already seen how the mentality of the players has changed over the last couple of months. But we have noticed that we still have a way to go to get to the top level.
      “They have to realise a game is only finished when the ref blows.”

      The Dutchman said: “I think it was the best set-up to win this game.
      “We pressed well. We expected pressing from Arsenal in a slightly different way and we could have read the game better a bit earlier.”
      United must now focus on Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, then they play Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday.
      Ten Hag  added: “The players have to be ready for a big week.”
      Defender Luke Shaw admitted United only had themselves to blame.
      He said: “In the second half, maybe we deserved that.
      “We were a bit passive and we let them control the game. To concede right at the end is gutting.
      “We know they’re an extremely good side and we were fighting all the way until that last second.

      His touchline antics have been heavily criticised but Arteta has defiantly refused to tone it down.
      And in Sunday’s all-important clash with Man Utd, Arteta was contesting every decision.
      After Luke Shaw pushed over Gunners No7 Bukayo Saka, Arteta got overly animated and was shown a yellow card by Anthony Taylor.
      Ex-England international Matthew Upson believes Arteta is a talking point among referees.

      Upson told BBC Radio 5Live: “I wonder if Arteta’s activity on the touchline has been a talking point among the referees for the last few games. I wouldn’t be surprised.”He was unbelievable in the game against Newcastle and he went too far.

      “They are trying to make a point of him needing to tone it down a bit.
      “You can’t be that in the face of the officials – or anyone else, for that matter.”

      The 21-year-old sent a thumping effort low into the left corner of the goal.

      A repeat of this fixture from earlier on in the season would see United cut the gap down to five points.
      And despite Ten Hag being the only manager to get one over on Mikel Arteta in the Prem this season, United legend Neville believes his former team will NOT win the title.
      The former defender-turned-pundit says United are “a little bit short upfront”, which rules them out of the title race.
      Neville said on Sky Sports: “I don’t think they (Man Utd) are (in the mix for the title).

      “I think they’re short compared to other teams. They are a little bit short upfront.
      “You think about Weghorst coming in, he was a stop gap. 
      “The others seem to have more firepower, but United, from where they were at the start of the season, are in a really good position.”
      Another one of United’s former captains has echoed Neville’s view.

      Roy Keane says United’s performances are still below that of title challengers Arsenal.
      Keane said: “United have had a difficult start to the season, it’s great to see their recovery.
      “They are still behind Arsenal in terms of the level of performances and of course the points total.”
      Neville doesn’t believe Arsenal will win the league either.
      He reckons United will beat Arsenal to second with Manchester City retaining the title.
      He said: “They won’t win the league. Manchester City will win the league, and I think Man Utd will finish second, and I know that will annoy Arsenal fans!
      “I’d rather Arsenal win the league than Man City. I think it would be absolutely sensational for the Premier League.
      “I think about watching the Premier League, we’ve seen City sweep up, apart from Liverpool, over the past five years.

      The 24-year-old was in action for France at the World Cup in Qatar, picking up a runners-up medal.
      Didier Deschamps opted to field him at right-back for Les Bleus, although Disasi is naturally a centre-half by trade.
      According to Telefoot, the Red Devils have launched an initial approach to sign Disasi from Monaco.
      Having lost Disasi’s centre-back partner Benoit Badiashile to Chelsea for £35million earlier this month, the Ligue 1 side will not want to lose a second defender on the cheap.

      Monaco will reportedly demand north of £44m for Disasi’s signature.
      And United will face strong competition to complete a deal.
      Bayern Munich are also in the race, having made Disasi a “priority target”.
      The Bundesliga giants could look to partner him with French international team-mate Dayot Upamecano.

      They shelled out £55m to sign Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.
      While they also spent £13m on Tyrell Malacia.
      Recruiting another defender could cast further doubt over skipper Harry Maguire’s Man United future.
