Saw the smile in the studio.
But mainly a Poker face. A way to go yet, he’s in a negotiation by the sounds of it.

Roy Keane
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Much above Rice at his age.
If he is going to Sunderland, hope he absolutely smashes it (figuratively not literally but as it is Keane you never know) would have been one of my choices as an ex player to become manager here had he been a manager more since he retired.
A Rooney Keane Utd management team?
With new captain Pogba given a £700k per week 8 year contract?
Make it so, just to see the Caf go into meltdown

Apparently it's not happening.

Nothing like Rice really at the same age. Rice plays more like a post 30 Keano.
Great footage though. Nice to see Irwin in his prime.
Say what you want about a Roy, but it clearly hurts him watching our players "perform" like that
Loads of managers have done nothing with Ireland, have you see the pool of players they have? And getting to a major tournament is not nothing for Ireland.
Spot on again with his comments. This is a spinless and really a headless bunch of players.
Say what you like about Roy Keane
I will. One of the best captains Manchester United have had in my lifetime.
He didn't just do little with them, he fell out with half the team.
He only really says the one thing. "They need to be tougher." Pretty much everything he says is a derivative of that.
"some of the lads are so upset when they are on the bench they dont try hard enough"
think he nailed that one
think he nailed that one
I bet he can name the social media accounts with accuracy too.
I love how perfectly he fits the cranky old pundit cliche.
I don't think Keane is hurting like some suggest. Keane is the least sentimental person ever. He'd prefer to see United win but he doesn't lose a seconds sleep over this shower of wasters.
I think he exaggerates how angry he is because he knows it's good tele. That said, he's probably annoyed at how some of these players are being paid more than he was.
Well said Roy! He is the type of leader we really need.
Roy said what we were all thinking, Scholesy on the other hand, having a go at the gaffer.
Keane's minted. Doubt he cares how much those wasters are paid.
I somehow disagree, I believe he cares about United as much as any true fan who wants the club to produce good results week-in/week-out, which is the standard he and the other great players who played with him worked hard to instill over years and years.
Obviously he may sound bitter at times given how he was treated at the end of his time at the club, which for me personally is on SAF all day long, you just don't treat one of the greatest leaders this club has had like that, it wasn't about who is bigger him or SAF, but more of a reality check to the players who were not putting a shift (but that's another topic)
I would love to see him working at United or be part of the coaching team, driving the players, motivating them, reminding them they are playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Scholes has called out rangnick every game and didn't say a word against ole for 3 years.
Never seen this before but it's brilliant. I don't think enough people appreciate how good he was on the ball as well as off it. You'd give anything to have a young Roy Keane coming into this team now, ahead of any other ex player for me.
Keane was a fantastic player and would get in most non-blinkered team of the PL, He was just that good.
I would also pick him first, not because I think he's the best we've ever had, but because he's exactly what we need in the center of the park.
Everything he said was right, and before when he said these players threw ole under the bus and there doing it again with this guy and until the element of doubters in the club the ones who don't give a feck, GO it will still be the same. There at least 8 players need to go in the summer. Pogba, Mata Matic, lingard , Jones, Bially, Cavani, Ronaldo.
He's just not a man manager. He alienated a lot of the Irish players due to his attitude towards them. He can't seem to deal with mediocre players which he'll have to do in the level of job he's got any chance of getting.
Hilariously, after making such a big deal about being accused of feigning injury in his career, he nearly got in a punch-up with two of the lads because he reckoned they weren't really injured.
That’s exactly what Keane does. His whole thing is about as manufactured as it gets, which is a bit ironic, really. I don’t blame him for it, mind; it gets him gigs.
He is actually really funny. Seeing him on the Overlap and in interviews with Neville shows that he has a sense of humour which made me think that during at least some of his rants, he knows what he's doing.
I actually do think it hurts him to see how far the club he was part of for so long , the club he captained to do much success has fallen.As a pro it bothers him to see the lack of professional pride too.
Spot on, keane got in a sly dig at fergie too and then the awkward silence with neville

Yeah I liked that.
"So Gary, how did Ferguson deal with big personalities who got too big for the club?"
Ask Keane, he'll tell you.
Doesn't make sense though? Roy and gerard's careers didn't really overlap much and the times it did it was roy dominating gerard.
Was good but the Micah Neville one was better. This was really just Carragher interviewing Keane.
Wtf?? Keane just basically admitted Gerrard was better than Scholes.
After Carragher made a case for Gerrard, Keano just went "Yeah I agree but you know loyalties..." and started laughing.
You can easily see that he think Gerrard is the superior player.
Keane is a troll, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t really get on with any of his old United’s teamamtes.
He's a contrarian and he seems to have a real issue with anyone that got on well with Fergie. Particularly the class of 92, other than Nicky Butt it feels like but he was probably the low key member of that group.
He did something where he chose his best Utd 11 he played with and it seemed to be full of players Fergie had fallen out with, I'm sure he picked Paul Ince in midfield over Scholes and like Heinze over Neville or something stupid like that.

Keane was wrong in his spat with Fergie. No one can go out and chat shit about his teammates on live TV without getting severely punished for it. Lord knows what he was thinking.
