Robbie Keane has offered an opinion on Leed United’s performance against Manchester United.

Former Leeds United striker Robbie Keane has spoken out on the Whites’ display against Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend - and offered a prediction ahead of their clash with Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side were defeated 6-2 in a thrillingly open fixture but have received criticism from some quarters for being too open and uncompromising in their style.

Before the clash, Bielsa stated Leeds would stick to their footballing principles.

“Leeds didn’t help themselves either,” Keane said on Premier League Productions. “They vacated the space way too often. Phillips was all over the place. He happened to be taken off.

“They’ll play Burnley next week and will probably end up beating them 6-2. That’s the way Leeds are. When you play against the top teams you get found out sometimes.
