Roy Keane explains why he is not convinced by Manchester United's progress under Erik ten Hag

Former captain Roy Keane is not fully convinced that Manchester United are making progress, despite heading into Friday night's FA Cup clash with Everton on a six-game winning run.

The Reds, who have completed the loan signing of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland on a deal until the end of the season, have been in terrific form since the season resumed following the World Cup pause just over a fortnight ago, winning four games in a row without conceding. They have dispatched of Nottingham Forest (3-0), Wolves (1-0) and Bournemouth (3-0) in the Premier League and of Burnley (2-0) in the Carabao Cup.

Their recent run of results has seen them climb into the top-four, moving them level on points with third-placed Newcastle United. However, although the supporters are pleased with the progress Erik ten Hag's side have made in recent weeks, Keane is refusing to get carried away, instead looking ahead to see how they will deal with the task of back-to-back league fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal.
