Keane was funny trying to critise everything! :) HJe was right so Fergie needs to take it on the chin. He didn’t buy right so Roy got that one right! :)

Keane was dead right. But they are young lads and will learn from the experience. The older players have no such excuse, they were woeful.

Interestingly Keane refrained from commenting on Rooney, who once again was ineffective last night.
The overarching fact of the matter is that the Premiership has lost ground once again on the other major European leagues. With the general technical standard of young English players seemingly stalled, for whatever reason, England could be in for an early bath next summer.

Im a United fan & Sir Alex is obviously one of the best managers ever to grace the game but Keane was spot in with everything he said last night..I personally think hes a great pundit,he doesnt hold back & says exactly what people are thinking

It was an easy group & i think we under estimated it & disrespected it by playin weakened teams. Injuries havent helped but we lack a world class central playmaker who can open teams up & make things happen. All the top teams have 1 or 2 while were dependent on the likes Carrick & young Cleverley who isnt ready for that responsibilty yet

A number of players like Gibson,Macheda & Anderson need to leave & players like Evra,Berbatov & Carrick need to look at themselves in the mirror & sort themselves out

@Jonathon – SAF. Really?

Keano was spot on. We have no decent midfield and now if Vidic is out for a while then our defence is screwed as well. He’s not afraid to give his opinion!!!!

On another note I know Roy can come across as a badass but having met him I can say that’s he’s a gentleman and went out of his way to sign autographs and pose for pictures for everybody.

I normally go against Keane due to the Saipan incident but he was spot on last night, seemed like Jones lacked passion, didn’t not chase down any ball he lost. SAF is the only man in the world that can’t see how bad of a United team this is, Carrick, Anderson and Fletcher are well below par! Although I do like Smalling, Jones and Young! Evra is finished however

I think Alex Ferguson was dead right in what he said about Roy Keane. Keane has also a long way to go in both his management skills and his TV punditry.

Fergie was right when he mentioned Roy’s career because let’s face it, pundits are just former players who couldn’t hack it as a manager. Having said that, To be fair to Keane, he was doing his job as pundit. His managerial career (or rather lack of it) wasn’t the issue here. He was asked for his opinion and gave it. I don’t agree with what Keane said about the younger players. Young and Smalling didn’t play well last night but they have played well so far this season. For me, Jones was a bargain at €18m and although he didn’t have a great game either, just like the other two, he has played well since he joined. To be honest, apart from Giggs (because i thought he was United’s best player last night), I think the senior players need to take a long, hard look at themselves. They shouldn’t be letting complacency creep in because lets face it, United have nothing to be complacent about. I know today’s hearing with UEFA will probably have played on Rooney’s mind but that’s no excuse. He and Nani particularly missed a lot of chances last night. Chances they should have buried. Evra is another one that needs to improve significantly. He’s giving the ball away far too cheaply and far too often! If I were Fergie, I would be looking to offload a few players like Berbatov, Macheda, Gibson and Jonny Evans. Macheda and Gibson are not up to scratch. Berbatov only scores against the lesser teams and Jonny Evans is a liability. Fergie should have sold Evans to Sunderland when he had the chance!

United don’t frighten teams anymore cause the don’t have the players, park past it, Carrick useless , Evans so bad it’s unreal, fletcher not the same player of old, Ferdinands got the hump since he lost the captains armband, where are the young players that use to frighten teams in the league cup a few years back? Cleverlys a great one for the future, so much of Utd’s early battering was down to his spark in midfield ,

How did Fergie not buy right? Out of the 3 players mentioned they have been excellent buys. I was skeptical about Ashley Young when he was bought, but he has done well when available. I understand that United are crying out for a midfielder but there is a reason why he didn’t find the right one during the summer. I am upset and disappointed more so by the more senior players and Fergie’s attitude towards the Champions League this year. Buying a midfielder can fixed, players becoming too big for their boots is hard to fix and thats where some United players are at after last night… It will be fixed not in the short term but the long term and as United fans, we have to accept that we cant always be winning, we have to go through a transition, we did it before and we can do it again…

Sir Alex Ferguson is (now) one of the greatest managers of all time. He would freely admit himself that he wasn’t the greatest of players, unlike Roy Keane. I’m a (long time United fan) and someone who can remember the team going for many years without winning anything! If it had not been for Lee Martin’s goal in the FA cup final Ferguson would have been sacked after three and half years of winning nothing in 1990. It is sad that SAF has taken this swipe at Keane as he has forgotten he had nearly twice as long at United as manager before wining anything, something Keane did not have as manger at either clubs! I have to say I agree with Keane and would go much further in saying that the vast majority of united players at the moment are very average but many of them have egos larger than old Trafford its self!

Didn’t hear the discussion myself. but Roy is a master critic(iser). it is a pity that he has not mastered management and i doubt he ever will. its so easy to criticise from a position of failure. very akin to to the TD ‘s on the opposition benches, full of rhetoric and little substance. Roy should have just left us with the memories of him being the great player he was. granted United are not the team they were and maybe they will not be for a long time to come but i still think they will win the title on more occasions than any other team over the next ten years. get a life Roy and preferably one where you acknowledge your own massive personal and professional shortcomings.

Ferguson and Keane at each others’ throats? I love it!ABU.
