Roy Keane Blasts Sir Alex Ferguson PIX

Sir Alex puts himself first, not United, blasts former captain Keane as feud turns uglyBy Ian Ladyman

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has accused manager Sir Alex Ferguson of putting his own interests ahead of the club's and revealed that the Barclays Premier League champions threatened to sue him in 2008.

Keane, one of Ferguson's greatest Old Trafford servants, clashed with the Scot in public after he criticised United in the wake of their Champions League exit in Basle this month.

Writing in his match column for the following home game against Wolves, Ferguson suggested his team were receiving undue criticism from 'people we thought were on our side'.

Now Keane has hit back in remarkably ferocious style, revealing that he no longer has a relationship with Ferguson, refused a club invite to attend a 25th anniversary dinner for his old boss and claiming the 69-year-old is not the great servant to United people claim him to be.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Keane has also told how the club threatened to sue him after an interview he gave in 2008 in which he spoke about the controversial manner of his departure from Old Trafford in 2005.

The former Ipswich and Sunderland manager said: 'People say Ferguson always does what is right for Man United. I don't think he does. I think he does what is right for him.

'The Irish thing (when Ferguson took on major United shareholder John Magnier over stud rights to the champion racehorse Rock of Gibraltar), I was speaking to the manager about this.

'That didn't help the club, the manager going to law against its leading shareholder. How could it be of benefit to Man United?

'It wasn't and we know what happened. What was all that about? It's amazing what happens. I look back at my relationship with him and I wonder if it wasn't about me being good for him and good for the club.

...can't believe ferguson hasn't reserved him a seat next to him in the dug-out, where he can scream abuse at the 'langers' on the pitch, just like he thought ferguson would want. After all those years licking fergusons arsehole. And now he 'has a go' at him. Fucking loser. Best advice to keane, fuck off you cunt. You are a blot on the landscape and only serve to encourage brain dead gobshites to proclaim you a 'hard man and a straight talker'. What a fucking joke. Coward and liar more like.

So keane has a go at ferguson for doing something which harmed the club. Is this the same keane who boasted about the premeditated assault on Haaland in his book, which earned him shit loads of money as well as a further 5 match ban. A total of eight matches lost by the club captain over a twisted grudge caused by his own shit tackle.

keane has the reasoning power of a 4 year old. A fucking whingey 4 year old. ferguson, an even bigger cunt than keane, but successful, dumps him and the fucker ..
