Roy Keane Names Manager He’d ‘Love’ to See at Man Utd
Roy Keane has picked out the manager he'd want at Manchester United amid uncertainties over Ruben Amorim.
After yet another below-par start to the campaign, United are currently 10th in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Arsenal.
The Red Devils have lost to the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Brentford
United were also dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby Town.
As a result of United's struggles, the pressure is beginning to mount on Amorim.
The Portuguese has so far failed to implement his play style, and the results have simply not been good enough.
Amid the uncertainties over Amorim's future, United legend Keane picked out Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone as his choice to become Red Devils boss.
He said on The Overlap: "I’ve said it for years, I’d like to see Atletico Madrid’s Simeone go in there, I’d like to see him go in there. I know his mate [Andrea Berta] has gone to Arsenal but I think he would just create havoc, a good havoc.
"I think he’d walk up to that place and say, ‘hey, this is how you do things’. Obviously, it’s no guarantee but I’d just like to see his personality, his track record."
Wall Street stocks edged higher early Tuesday, extending an upbeat stretch as markets continue to look past a US government shutdown that has curtailed economic data releases.
About 20 minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was unchanged at 46,694.91.
The broad-based S&P 500 added 0.1 percent to 6,745.33, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.2 percent to 22,975.45.
The US Senate Monday night voted down a bill to provide stopgap funding for the government through November 21, ensuring staff furloughs will continue in a shutdown that is now in its second week.
"Market participants are looking at the government shutdown with an historical lens and saying that in large part, it doesn't affect the market or the economy," said Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth Management.
"If there's an effect on the economy, it gets picked up quickly once the government reopens."
Among individual companies, IBM jumped 3.1 percent after announcing a strategic partnership with Anthropic, whose Claude platform is one of the emerging players in artificial intelligence.
