Roy Keane was as usual a total disgrace with some of his comments.Waxed lyrical about lyrical about the young Chelsea players and never even mentioned the Young United boy.Amad,Dorgu,Garnacho are just three players who will go ins have big careers at United.This is the man who betrayed the younger players at Manchester United on video and didn’t have the guts to say things to their faces.Also let down his country by walking out of the 2002 World Cup.Alex Ferguson and Mick McCarthy were disgusted by his behaviour and rightly got rid
United’s problem is they are just not good enough Amorim Bruno and Amad are the only 2 that would get n most top clubs
