"Do you think that Real Madrid and Barcelona would be celebrating getting fourth? Come on, get a grip. It is about getting your hands on a trophy."However, if there's one thing that sickens him more than the reduced ambitions of Liverpool and United, it's Arsenal. Arsenal host United on Sunday, and defeat for either team could end their chance of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League. The fixture at the Emirates comes between two games against Celta Vigo in the Europa League for United, and Jose Mourinho has suggested he may prioritise the European games over finishing in the top four.

"Well, even a weak team would probably still beat Arsenal, they can afford to do that," Keane replied.
