Keown also believes Liverpool should finish above United when the Premier League draws to a close.
"Liverpool, for what they are able to do to teams," he added, when asked which team deserves to end the season second to Manchester City.
"Their front three of [Sadio] Mane, [Roberto] Firmino and [Mohamed] Salah are like the Red Arrows.
"Liverpool are the only side who can get near to Manchester City in terms of taking teams apart."
