Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic has hit back at the Red Devils’ legend Roy Keane for criticism of him last season.Matic was criticised by Keane for saying he still had a place in his heart for both United and Chelsea.Nemanja Matic: “What he [Roy Keane] was doing on the pitch is 70 per cent a red card today. You can’t throw a punch when all the cameras in the world are on.” pic.twitter.com/xZkt6nVuCD— Manuel Menacho 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇮🇪🏴🇧🇪⚽️ (@ManuelMenacho0) September 25, 2022 “The players, Matic talking about ‘I’m leaving, I’ve had a great time… Man United will always be in my heart, oh and Chelsea as well, by the way, oh and Benfica – don’t forget them’. They can’t all be in your heart.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##The Serbian midfielder insists he has nothing against Keane personally but believes his comments were unnecessary and did not fairly reflect the modern climate of football.”I have respect for what he has done, but he needs to understand that football has changed,” Matic told The Times. “If I played for Chelsea, I cannot say I hate them. I cannot be angry when I’m talking to the press after the game, “explained Matic, before slamming Keane:”The way he behaved on the pitch, 70 per cent of it is a red card today. You cannot throw a punch when all the cameras in the world are there. The real hero is when you go out on the street and say something, but he was always very nice to me, so what he says in public, to be honest, I don’t really care. I know what I’ve done in my career and I’m very happy,” concluded he.##NAJAVA_MECA_6667966##
