Manchester United legend, Roy Keane, has slammed Arsenal defender, Rob Holding, describing him as a ‘very slow’ player after their 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
Keane also claimed the English defender, who is standing in for the injured William Saliba is the weak link for the Gunners.
The 27-year-old Holding has been deputising for the French defender since he picked up a back injury in their Europa League rounds of 16 loss to Sporting Lisbon.

After Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday, Manchester City were able to cut the gap between them and the Premier League league leaders to six points with a game in hand.
The Citizens defeated relegation threatened Southampton 4-1 in an earlier game on Saturday.
Speaking about the outcome of the encounter between Arsenal and Liverpool on Sky Sports, Keane said Holding’s lack of pace is a big worry for the north London side.
He said: “There are better players in his position at the club.
“I’m not his biggest fan, there’s no doubt he’s an honest pro but I worry at this level about his real lack of pace.
“In terms of quick play around his feet, he is short at this level.”
