Roy Keane believes that the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and other players benefited Manchester United.
The departure of five or six players was a key moment [of the season]. Pogba, Mata, Matic, Lingard knew they were leaving, their contracts were expiring and I don`t think it helped the club. There is definitely a new energy in Manchester United right now.
I think that the departure of Ronaldo helped the coach and the club. Nobody wanted this to put pressure on the club in the second half of the season. This should have been dealt with over the summer. Ronaldo was clearly not going to sit on the bench and enjoy it.
Now they have dealt with the situation, and she is no longer putting pressure on the club. But also [helped] the departure of 5-6 guys, Cavani among them. Substitutes and non-essential players have to be ready to play and last year it seemed like they were draining energy, the former Manchester United captain told Sky Sports.
