Manchester United legend Roy Keane thinks it is “hard to get excited” about Liverpool and doesn’t expect them to win any silverware come the end of the season.

The Reds are currently in a disappointing sixth position in the Premier League table and were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the third round by Leicester City.

Liverpool overcame Maribor 3-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night to move a step closer to Champions League qualification but Keane wasn’t convinced by watching Jurgen Klopp’s side.

“It’s hard to figure out Liverpool at the moment,” said Keane, speaking on ITV . “It’s hard to get excited about them. To me, they are going nowhere fast.

“They’re neat and tidy, but defensively… come the end of the season when the prizes are being given out, Liverpool will be nowhere near them.

“If Liverpool were playing out in my back garden, I wouldn’t watch them. They’re just drifting. Drifting nowhere.”
