Almost twenty years after leaving Manchester United under questionable circumstances, Roy Keane is expected to make a sensational return to the club. This is according to the predictions of many people.
He left Old Trafford as a result of a much-publicized rift with Sir Alex Ferguson, which is something he has discussed on numerous occasions. The 53-year-old player, who made 480 appearances for United during a trophy-filled 12-year spell, left Old Trafford.
After that, in December of 2005, he would sign with Celtic, a team that competes in the Scottish Premiership. However, a year later, Keane announced his retirement on the basis of medical advice.
Following stints in management with Sunderland and Ipswich Town, the former Republic of Ireland international has transitioned into the world of punditry since he has retired from playing football.
Aside from that, he worked as an assistant coach for Martin O’Neil and Paul Lambert at Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, respectively. However, what about the possibility of him taking on a coaching position at another old stomping ground in the future?
Now, Mikael Silvestre, a former defender for Manchester United, is of the opinion that his former teammate might be able to assist in resolving a significant problem at Manchester United.
Silvestre expressed his opinion to Yaysweepstakes, saying, “I believe that it would be wonderful for Roy Keane to play a role at Manchester United.” As a result of the fact that Roy always treated everyone in precisely the same manner, the reason for this is that. Whoever you were, whether you were a new signing, an old guy, the manager, or anyone else, it became irrelevant. When he did that, he earned respect. That was the way that Sir Alex earned respect. It won’t be a problem if you treat everyone in the same manner.
“Now, it is actually true that you have players, and as soon as you say something to them, they do not collapse; however, it has a much more significant impact on them. The skin on our bodies used to be thicker.
The apology that Joshua Zirkzee posted on social media for missing his penalty kick against Fulham was something that I saw. You failed to take a penalty, and you did not end up killing anyone! Nothing like that is required at all. Furthermore, he had a good game, so you shouldn’t blame yourself for it because it happens.
He continued by saying, “I can remember when Paul Scholes missed a penalty in the FA Cup final [in 2005], and we lost to Arsenal.” The Frenchman further stated, “I can remember that.” Although he was one of the best players of his generation, he did not apologise for his actions because it is possible for such things to occur in professional sports. You have to come to terms with it and push through it.
At this point in time, I believe that there is a problem with the players of this generation. It is more difficult for them to accept criticism. In the event that Roy Keane was involved at Manchester United, and if he was on the inside with the group, he would be required to protect and work for the group. You wouldn’t see him criticising players in public, so there wouldn’t be any problem.
The remarks made by Silvestre come just a few days after Keane went on the offensive against Bruno Fernandes, who was criticised by another pundit named Ian Wright for saying that the Portuguese midfielder has been “saving” United this winter.
At that moment, Keane exclaimed, “Bruno is a talented player, but talent alone is not enough.” “Talent is not enough, Wrighty!”
After that, Keane made a reference to Tony Adams, a former captain of Arsenal, and asserted that Adams was a “fighter” in contrast to Fernandes. “You’ve got young players in the dressing room… you have to look at somebody and go; ‘I like what he does’,” he explained further.
“But you want someone’s going ‘lads are you with me?'”
Wright persisted in his defence of Fernandes, arguing that “But maybe he’s not that captain… but what he’s doing in respects of… saving you, playing that pass, and the goal.” We are in danger of being relegated to the lower divisions if Bruno is not present.
