Smith: Keane Helped Inspire Us
Alan Smith says United were fired up for Chelsea after an inspiring talk with Roy Keane left the players in no doubt about the standards expected at Old Trafford.
Keane, who watched from the stands against Chelsea and was out of his seat celebrating when Darren Fletcher scored, is out with a broken metatarsal but still managed to have an influence on United's performance.
After two disappointing defeats against Middlesbrough and Lille, Smith says the players needed to show "another side to Manchester United".
"That kind of performance has always been there," he told Sky Sports. "The gaffer has never doubted us and we have never doubted ourselves as players.
"But sometimes you just need a reminder that you are at a big club. You're not at your previous clubs and you can't let the standards drop."
Asked where that reminder came from, Smith responded: "I think everyone knows where it came from, although it wasn't just Roy [Keane]."

The 24-year-old Yorkshireman referred to speculation in the papers about comments Keane made to MUTV, the club's television chanel.
"All the speculation about it in the papers was rubbish," Smith said. "He told us exactly what he had said. He's a proud person.
"If you're going to play football you have to accept criticism, because we'll all accept the praise when it comes. You do your talking and put things right on the pitch.
