Keane Delivers Premier League Verdict After Manchester City’s Win At Nottingham

Manchester United icon Roy Keane has backed Manchester City to win the 2023-24 Premier League title, saying the trip to Nottingham Forest was their final big hurdle of the season.

Manchester City Bagged Impressive 2-0 Victory Over Nottingham Forest

When asked if the game against Nottingham was City’s final hurdle of the season, Keane said:

With that result at the City Ground, I think the title is Manchester City’s now.”

He added:

It’s the same old story with City, even when they are not at their best. They know how to win football matches, they have good options off the bench, and they have got into a really good habit of winning matches in recent years.
