Obviously Manchester United fans recognize Roy Keane as a legend and a former captain from 97’ to 05’ and many believe him to be the best captain in premier league history so his opinion holds a lot of merit. My question is, do you all agree with this statement? If yes, which current Manchester United player would be a more suitable option …

Keane is so watchable for his shtick of saying throwaway comments about players without any real depth behind it. Great to watch and listen to. Gets attention for rightly calling out players on desire, effort. But in terms of tactical and player analysis, its severely lacking.

Roy is a decent pundit, he’s entertaining and gets a laugh through his anger, but he’s stuck in his ways. The games changed along with the players and he just wants football to be the way it was, he’s too harsh on the players for what is the norm now.

Aug 8, 2023 · Keane was a great footballer, it’s such a shitty take to say otherwise. The only thing Vieira was better than Keane at was his ability to bomb forward with the ball at speed.

Oct 23, 2022 · Roy keane was anyone else pissed off with how hard he defended ronaldo on sky, i know he played with him but even gary neville was backing ten hag but keane was digging him out.

Dec 28, 2019 · Roy Keane as a player was known for being confrontational, aggressive, hard as anything, not backing down. Look at the classic image of him squaring up to Patrick Viera.

Dec 11, 2022 · Roy Keane knows ball and he hates unnecessary flair. He likes a crunching tackle over some weird dancing when you score a goal and he's not afraid to voice his opinions. Give me 100 Roy Keanes over a Micah Richards who's just there for comedic relief.

Sep 27, 2013 · I want to understand what Keane offered tactically for the united midfield. Since I didn't understand the tactical side of football when I was young (and still don't grasp it fully :p) I thought this would be a great place for such a question. Thanks for all the responses guys!

Stellar player, stellar career, but Keane had far far more total lapses in professionalism than his pundit personality would suggest. A lot of these reds aren’t just him letting down his teammates, they’re him showing a complete disregard for his opposing number …

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has told a court he was left “in shock” after being allegedly “headbutted” through doors during a Premier League football match.
