Manchester United legend Roy Keane has expressed doubts about Arsenal’s chances of winning the 2023–2024 Premier League title.

Arsenal were the frontrunners for the Premier League title for most of last season.

The Gunners eventually finished in second place behind champion Manchester City.

However, Keane has now expressed doubts about Arsenal’s mentality to turn things around if they run into trouble once again this season.

“A lot of people talk about a good game and what they [Arsenal] need to improve. The proof is in the pudding. They got themselves in a great position last season, but obviously they came up short, physically and mentally, on strength in depth,” Keane said (via the Daily Star).

“When the going gets tough, like last year, and they are in the same position, they can learn from it.”

He added, “The next step for Arsenal is the biggest step. Getting second, third, or fourth is fine. But the next step, if you are talking about winning league titles, is the hardest one.”

Arsenal’s 2023–24 Premier League opener is against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on Saturday.
