Robbie Keane has denied claims that Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish does not have the backing of his players.

Robbie Keane has insisted that the Aston Villa players are fully behind their manager Alex McLeish, following his loan spell at the club.

It had been suggested that some Villa players had become disillusioned with life at the club, but Keane says that the Scot has the squad's backing.

"I heard someone saying about the manager that the players are not behind him but that is totally wrong. I have only been there a short space of time but I can see the players are 100% behind Alex McLeish," the 31-year-old talkSPORT.

"It's always going to be tough when you have come from your rivals but he is a great manager and when he gets his own kind of players that he wants to bring in you see will see a different team."

Keane recently returned to Los Angeles Galaxy after making seven appearances for the club.
