Keane's 13-Year Stint at Man Utd

Roy Keane, 52, spent almost 13 years at Manchester United under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, joining the club in 1993 and leaving in late 2005.

No Special Relationship with Managers

Keane recently revealed that he never had any special bond with Sir Alex Ferguson or any other managers he worked under throughout his career. He emphasized that he preferred to maintain a professional relationship rather than a personal one.

Keane's Experience at Other Clubs

Aside from his time at Manchester United, Keane also played for Nottingham Forest and Celtic during his career.

Depends on Manager's Personality

During an appearance on Sky Sports, Keane discussed the relationship between players and managers. He stated that the nature of the relationship depends on the personality of the manager and the captain of the club. Keane personally did not believe in forming close relationships with his managers and felt it didn't suit his personality.

Denial of Special Bond with Ferguson

When asked about his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, Keane denied the existence of any special bond. He stated that there were only two or three private conversations between them throughout his time at Manchester United and that their relationship was strictly professional.

Keane's View on Manager Relationships

Keane expressed his belief that forming close relationships with managers was unnecessary. He cited the fact that tough decisions are often made by managers, and even if players think they have performed well, they can still be let go. Keane's comments may have been influenced by his own less-than-amicable departure from Manchester United.

Fans React on Social Media
