Roy Keane had a fantastic football career and not so good managerial one. Maybe he wasn’t a good tactician, but he certainly is not great with man-management. Known for his bad temper, it’s a real miracle that he managed to hold himself and not kick any of his players, as everybody expected. And now, moving into doing TV work as a pundit, he only watches matches and he should be calmer, which he is unless it’s Manchester United. When his former team is on TV, he cannot contain his emotions, and those are usually those aggressive ones, as the Red Devils are not playing well at the moment. And he has a fixation with United’s defenders and one player in the midfield – Fred. This is absolute top tier television. Roy Keane on Ole playing Fred 😂😂😂📹 @footballdaily pic.twitter.com/vLUImozRhI— Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) November 6, 2021 After another bad display and a derby loss to Manchester City 2-0, Keane gave one of his greatest rants so far, when he even admitted he would grab his former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by the collar. „If OIe walked in here now I’d grab him by the collar and say ‘why are you playing Fred?’ All managers have to make their own decisions, they’re working with the players day in, day out, I would look at him and go ‘why are you playing Fred in the middle of the park?’ ‘I give up on these players. These are international footballers! I can’t understand the defending – I give up… Really so poor, difference in class, quality, decision-making, everything. It was men vs boys. United are so off it, it’s unbelievable. It should be a difficult place to come – it’s not. Teams are coming here and getting joy. Man United are in a bad place, but there’s a way out of it, is Ole the man to do it? Huge question marks, I hope he is, it’s more hope than belief. Every time there’s a bad performance like that, Ole gets the blame, every time United produce a result Ole’s the luckiest man on the planet. He has to look at himself in the mirror and go ‘I need to do better here’“ said Keane. Not sure exactly what’s happening here but Keane ain’t happy 😂 pic.twitter.com/9fU8ZEqNBg— Darren Russell (@darrenrusse11) November 7, 2021 Roy Keane also has a row with United supporter after the match with City, as the Irishman doesn’t like to be in the spotlight (even thou he wants to be a TV pundit). „I bumped into a United fan the other day and he showed me his tattoo and he said “Alright, bye” and then walked on. That’s a proper fan. People who invade you with your phone or signing your jerseys, you’re just annoying“ said Keane.The former United captain was still professional enough to sign autographs outside Old Trafford and talked to some fans when the fan approached him and criticized the retired Irish player. Fan: You’re a legend of this club.Keane: What am I trying to do? Hang around all day and sign autographs? I’ve signed autographs!Fan: Why are you being like that?’Keane: Like what? Like what? What did I do?Fan: An absolute pr***Keane: Oh, because you’ve had a few drinks and United got beat you’re taking it out on me? What’s that got to do with me? You’ve had a few drinks, I can tell. What have you had, two pints? Tell all your mates not to lecture me.
