Roy Keane sums up Man Utd's desperate situation with reason Antonio Rudiger wouldn't sign

Roy Keane believes Antonio Rudiger will have turned down any approach from Manchester United because the club aren't equipped to win trophies.

The centre-half will leave Chelsea this summer when his contract expires, meaning he is available for nothing. Rudiger is seeking a major pay packet when he pens his next deal having been locked in negotiations for several months. The sanctions placed on the the Blues meant those talks were shelved and the German will now seek pastures new.

United were among those linked with Rudiger, who has become one of the Premier League's leading defenders in recent years. A new centre-half could be eyed in the summer, despite the arrival of Raphael Varane this season. However Keane claims the current state of affairs at Old Trafford will have been a major turn off for the German.
