He defo called Keane a prick.
Roy Keane

Sounds it, but its hard to make out as the other guy does seem to be slurring his words.
You realise that he said McTominay was not good enough for Man Utd?
A 36yo Keano would boss our midfield
At this point, Oriol Romeu would probably boss our midfield
If the autograph guy is selling signed shirts why isnt Keane having a go at him
I don't know if he plays up to his image for the cameras or if he just has a primitive view of the game that makes him undervalue his own talent but when he talks, he's like a caricature of himself. He basically said the players needed to get a yellow to "get the crowd going" against City. Nothing about the defending, poor counter-attacking or inability to get possession. Just "smash someone". Pundits in the 90's weren't that thick.
He's entertaining as a pundit but he's talking himself out of a job as manager by exposing how backwards his thinking is. Can you imagine Pep telling De Bruyne to "smash someone"?
It’s ok to critique the mans comments on Sky or wherever but to diminish his abilities as a player makes you sound foolish.
Everyone’s quick to assume the guy getting the autograph has a bag full of shirts to sell.
Perhaps he’s just collected his bag from the bag drop at old Trafford to travel home after the game.
Keane rarely signs autographs so fair play to the guy for convincing him to sign a shirt.
Maybe not De Bruyne, but Fernandinho, now that’s another matter.
why am I quoted..
I think he'd tell him to stop a counter attack but Keane was demanding the players just foul someone. No plan or sense behind it. Just smack a guy.
Eh bruh what’s wrong with his line up tho?! It’s actually fresh as hell
You've clearly never played football in a proper team.
Amen.Keane cared about the result, the performance.It showed.
It doesn’t show with most of our current players, Ronaldo & Cavani excepted.

Agree with most of what you say but Richards has improved significantly in recent times. He has cut back the laughing and is far more serious now as well. I remember Carragher saying on Neville's Overlap show that someone had given him a little advice on his punditry about not just being known as 'that guy' and that he took this onboard in order to improve himself. I wonder if maybe the same happened to Micah.
He gets a percentage.
Can we not just take him into captivity and then release him inside the training complex
That's exactly what Keane was calling for. Do you really think Pep or Klopp tell their players to smash into someone and get a yellow to get the crowd going? Or do they tell them to work hard and press the ball?
Bruno?
The idea that we've somehow got a bunch of players who don't care while other clubs have all the hard working players is silly. Especially given that all of our players have either been successful elsewhere or have been successful here in the past.
I thought the irish guy called him a legend and the other guy just seemed to be picking on him.
Was he slagging him off for not signing autographs while he was actually signing an autograph?
Roy hasn't managed in over a decade I think he knows his managerial career is already over.
Also DeBruyne no, Fernandinho yes.
Legend as a footballer, the rest is a shite show.
Players shouldn’t need a coach to tell them to do that. Your keanes, scholes, Ronaldos, rooneys, cantonas that have that fiery drive/passion and detest losing just go out and do it because they’re so pissed off at how the game is going. I was yelling at the tv to do the same.
Maybe Keane and I share the same outdated caveman view of the game. But it was so pathetic getting toyed around like a warmup training session. No one except DDG and Ronaldo showed they cared. Go in hard on a tackle or show that you have some fight ffs even if you get carded in an already lost game.
I just don't see how getting yourself sent off would make a difference. Imo, we were toyed with because Ole made us set up defensively to keep the score down. Not because the players were weak.
Do you think Fernandino was never told to go into tackles hard by Guardiola? Or that Kompany was only told "work hard and press the ball!" fecking hell man! It would make no difference to the result. It’s about the perception to the team and fans showing that you care as much as we do. Obviously us fans are deluded since for 90% of footballers it’s just a job. But there’s a reason why fans still love, and feel they can relate to, ex-players like cantona, rooney, evra, rafael da silva, Cr7, roy keane. When they’re on the pitch win or lose they play like they love the club as much as we do. I absolutely think our current players are mentally weak and fragile. It’s been a problem for years now.
I’ve lost plenty of casual pickup games at the park. But when you start getting humiliated 5-0 and the opponents do little showboating and tiki-taka, there comes a limit and i get pissed and start kicking out and tackling hard. It’s about personal pride. If anything, it might get a reaction out of the opponents, your own team, and the fans. I’d much rather watch both teams at each other’s faces pushing and shoving than watching our players jog around aimlessly for the last 20 minutes chasing shadows.
Have you ever seen videos of Maradona or Messi getting kicked off the ball by opposition players? It has nothing to do with tactics, its about making it difficult for players that are clearly a lot more capable than you. If its going to be so easy for them to outplay you make them fear your tackles by putting them under pressure. Thats the school of get stuck in. Every manager out there will tell his players to get stuck in and fight for the badge when they're being outplayed, even Guardiola. It's football 101.
How often did Fernandinho or Kompany just smash someone and get red carded for no reason?
If it makes no difference to the result then I'm not sure it's much use. Players should be smart and pragmatic and not just act on pride.
I'm fine with committed tackling when there's a point to it but Keane was saying just smash someone. No thought or purpose. It was like he thought injuring someone makes up for a defeat.
No he wasn't, if you're hearing thay and thinking he just run over to someone and tackle them for no reason you're way off. He's talking about getting stuck in with a tackle.
He also got sent off for that. I'd rather our players didn't. You can tackle forcefully without fouling someone.
That's what I think he was saying.
Jesus wept
He clearly wasn't or he would be defending Pogba against Liverpool
He is saying he wants a player to make a challenge and get the crowd up and the team up.
People who obviously either have an agenda or who have never seen him play insist on this narrative he is a caveman with a caveman's mentality
Are we talking about the same guy who said he'd be throwing punches at DDG for a mistake? His entire mantra now is just be tough. Whenever United lose, his advice is to just be tougher. He certainly talks like he has a caveman mentality.
Roy Keane talks about character because without character you are nothing.
Name me a great player that doesn't have character who doesn't have that extra mentality to do and go that extra mile to get the job done?
Too many United players are bland and go hiding behind others when the chips are down which drives him mad.
