Roy Keane makes 'pressure' admission over Leeds United's performances under Jesse Marsch

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has claimed that Jesse Marsch has "to get some results" with Leeds United, regardless of their performance levels.

Marsch waxed lyrical about his side's performance vs Aston Villa despite Leeds losing 2-1 last week. The American claimed it was the Whites' best performance in his 11 months in charge, even though goals from Leon Bailey and Emi Buendia ensured that Patrick Bamford's 83rd minute strike was merely a consolation.

Leeds are without a win in the league since their 4-3 victory over Bournemouth in November, but they will be desperate to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. Keane has now sent a word of warning to Marsch over his claims regarding Leeds' performance levels, as the former Man United captain stated that it's time for the team to start turning good displays on the pitch into three points off of it.

"The performances have been okay but we know the industry these managers are in, the pressure, you have to get some results," Keane told Sky Sports.

"We know the way Leeds are going to play today - they’re going to be up and at them, running with enthusiasm and energy with great support behind them - but you need results.

"You see where they are in the table at the moment, it’s tough going, and it’s a big, big game for Leeds today because Brentford, they’ve obviously been having a great season, great to watch so looking forward to it. Leeds have got to back up the so-called really great performances with some results."
