LONDON (Reuters) - Players at the Premier League's top clubs should 'stick to their guns' and resist pressure to take pay cuts during the COVID-19 shutdown, ex-Manchester United captain Roy Keane said on Friday.

Players at some clubs have accepted wage deferrals while Arsenal's players and coaching staff agreed a 12.5% salary reduction. "I don't think players should feel pressured by clubs, particularly the bigger clubs, to take pay cuts," added the former Ireland midfielder, who left United in 2005 in strained circumstances.
