Roy Keane gives Sir Alex Ferguson rare praise but opens up on how pair fell out in furious bust-up at Man Utd

ROY KEANE has revealed what he believes was Sir Alex Ferguson’s greatest strength – although he ruled out peace talks with his former boss.

The Republic of Ireland legend, 52, won 19 trophies during his 12 years as a player under Fergie at Old Trafford.

He also became the most decorated captain in the club’s history while wearing the armband from 1997 to 2005.

But Keane’s fairytale with United ended in explosive fashion after a fall-out with the Scot following an infamous interview he did on MUTV.

He criticised his teammates following the 4-1 defeat against Middlesbrough and within days he agreed to let the Red Devils terminate his contract.

During the latest episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, Keane insists he still feels he did nothing wrong and that he has no desire to make amends with his old boss.

However, when asked about what Ferguson’s greatest strength was, he said: “The one thing I’d always praise the manager for is at the time he obviously had to manage some really good players and big characters – I always felt particularly with team talks and coming up with the football side of it, I always thought he said the right thing, at the right time.

“Through all those team talks – hundreds of team talks – to kind of get it right, mostly, I liked that – I liked the fact that he’s just got that balance right regarding being tough, or being fair with people.

“I no doubt caused him trouble when I was a bit younger – whether it was going drinking, or going missing, or being late for training, whatever might be the case – but my issue towards the end is, and my anger I’ve always had at the end when I left was, I felt I did nothing wrong and I still have that.

“Listen, if you do something wrong you hold your hands up and I did lots of things at United wrong  – absolutely I don’t sit here for one minute thinking, ‘Well, I was this great pro’ – far from it and my role at United is greatly exaggerated, 100 per cent. But my issue at the end is, and I know everyone’s got an opinion – I did nothing wrong.”

Arsenal legend Ian Wright then asked him whether he felt if perhaps they went and had some tea together, could the pair make-up, to which Keane replied: “No, I don’t see that.

“No, I don’t see it. I think it’s a silly thing to be thinking about. No, I think that’s not gonna happen.”

He continued: “I get my anger is obviously a long time ago but the worst anger you can have is the justified anger where you feel – again I feel – I hadn’t done anything wrong.

“I was 34, I had a broken foot, and my contract was coming up, it was an easy fix for United to go, ‘Your days are numbered, alright, cheers, thanks a lot’ – and I’ve seen players leave but I could have left in the summer. 

“I had no hang ups about leaving in the summer, or going, ‘Am I getting another sneaky deal here?’ Listen, I’m a big boy, I can deal with it. It was all the way it was done; it wasn’t nice – that’s the bit. Not that I had to leave United, no – again, that’s life.”

Keane then opened up on his exit and the “disrespect” he felt, saying: ““Ultimately, it was my decision because I still had a few months left of my contract until the summer, but I still don’t get how a manager, who I worked with for such a long time – and listen, there’s two sides to every story, I have no problem with that – it’s give and take.

“I was good for the club and the club were good for me. But, how a manager with all that experience can’t sit down with a player – and I’ve been a manager who has made mistakes with players – but can’t sit down and go, ‘Listen, come the summer’, but it was all the way it was done.

“I almost have to remind people, I couldn’t go to anybody, I left October, November – came back from a broken foot which I broke at Anfield, couldn’t go to another team – how a club can’t sit down with somebody, and I’ve seen a lot of people leave on bad terms, and that’s fine – that’s life.

“Listen, nobody died, but I’m getting statements passed across to me going, ‘Ferguson’s saying you can go’, I’m getting all this feedback – ‘there’s cashflow problems’ – you know when you’re talking about terminating your contract and all that, and I’m looking at them, ‘Really?’ – and I got my backup as well.

Roy Keane's angriest moments

What really ticks off Roy Keane?

The Irishman is known for his no-nonsense approach to football.

And some particular things really do get on Keane’s wick.

It all makes for great entertainment for fans, who love the Man United legend’s take on the beautiful game.

But is Keane being a bit too sensitive himself?

From smiling players to ABBA, nothing is sacred.

And we all know about his dislike for a prawn sarnie…

Here are the things that really make Roy Keane angry.

“Listen, an older me might now go – if I was giving someone advice about me [back then], I’d go, ‘Hey step back for the week, take it all in’. My solicitor, my client, who did all my deals, the most relaxed, placid man you’d ever meet, I’ve seen him negotiate – a very good man and knew a good deal – but he almost fell off his chair.

“Ferguson and [David] Gill went, ‘We’ve come to the end and here’s a statement’. I was like, ‘Alright’ and he was like, ‘What!?’ I said, ‘Leave it Mike’ and they went out and I said, ‘Yeah, I’m out of here’, and he couldn’t believe it – all within ten minutes.”

Keane continued: “In hindsight, [I could have said], ‘We’ve come to the end, yeah, but I’ve got a contract with Manchester United just like you do with United’.

“You’re on about principles but when something like that is in front of me, I’m like disgusted with people, I go I wouldn’t even want to see you again. I was home by half nine, quarter to ten, my wife’s gone, ‘What’s happened?’ I went, ‘It’s over’.

Then I found out that day I couldn’t go to another team – so I couldn’t play until January. If I’d have known, I would have said, ‘I’ll just train with the reserves and get myself fit’, so I left Manchester United having not played for two or three months with a broken foot, and I couldn’t go to anyone until January. I was in no man’s land.”

However, Keane, who eventually joined Celtic for a season before retiring, is adamant that he is now at peace with his decision.

He added: “Some of the best decisions I’ve made in my life have been extinctive, and when I left Manchester United, my gut feeling was that the respect had gone for both parties, but the one who was going to suffer the most was me.

“I had bust ups with Sir Alex Ferguson in the past, but for him to say that me leaving the club was the end of my career was harsh from him. I walked out with an injury, which was a double whammy for me as I couldn’t play till January. 

 “When I left the club, there were a lot of stories that came out about me in the press, mainly focusing on my relationship with players, but it was all lies, which can tarnish you, but I can live with it and am at peace with it all.”
