Roy Keane has given his backing to Manchester United's summer recruitment drive and insisted Ruben Amorim should focus on rebuilding during his first full campaign.
The Old Trafford icon has assessed the Red Devils' trio of marquee signings - Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Both Cunha and Mbeumo were handed their debuts for United's opening Premier League clash against Arsenal, whilst Sesko - who sealed his £74million switch just last week - came on as a late substitute whilst Amorim's side searched for an equaliser.

The Red Devils are still pursuing a midfielder and potentially a shot-stopper, having already splashed out £207.5million.
Discussing the upcoming campaign, Keane told Sky Sports: "I think it's about trying to rebuild the team, get some confidence, get some momentum early in the season. Last year, obviously nowhere near good enough, we know that.
"The biggest issue they had all season despite chatting about the goalkeeper and the defence, they didn't score enough goals. When you're not scoring enough goals, particularly if you're Manchester United when they've invested so much money, you're constantly under pressure.
"They've obviously tried to fix that this summer. The signings, looking at them in pre-season, I know it's still early but yeah, the signs are good. They've obviously brought two players in who know the Premiership, they're robust enough to deal with the challenge of that and obviously they needed a goalscorer, so they were constantly under pressure. Looking at it, I like the look of it."
Amorim feels that the Red Devils must begin their rebuilding job by transforming Old Trafford into the fortress that is once was. "We've got to make it an enjoyable place for our fans. That is really important," the ex-Sporting boss declared.
"We start with one game against Arsenal, a very good team. Everyone in this room thinks Arsenal are going to win. I know that. But we will be there on Sunday to change things."
