Roy Keane has downplayed calls for interim Manchester United boss Michael Carrick to be given the job full-time after their 2-0 win over Manchester City. The former Red Devils midfielder has been tasked with guiding his old club for the rest of the season but ex-Liverpool man Daniel Sturridge suggested Carrick could take the position permanently. United legend Keane, though, was having none of it.
Michael Carrick said he is ready for the unrelenting scrutiny he is about to face as Manchester United coach, including from his former Red Devils' team-mates. Ruben Amorim was eventually weighed down by the volley of criticism from United legends such as Gary Neville but Carrick insisted he would pay little attention to comments from the high profile pundits in the media.
Roy Keane has aimed a savage dig at Michael Carrick's "big mouth" wife following his appointment as Manchester United's new interim head coach. Carrick has been charged with overseeing the Red Devils for the rest of the season after Ruben Amorim's sacking. And as the ex-Middlesbrough boss prepares for this new position, Keane risked re-igniting a feud with Carrick's wife, Lisa, with a brutal put-down.
Roy Keane has been tipped to make an extraordinary return to management by taking over at former club Manchester United. The tenacious Irishman has been a vocal critic of the Red Devils during their struggles in recent years, with the club lurching from manager to manager without success since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013. United have most recently sacked Ruben Amorim and placed Michael Carrick in charge for the rest of the 2025-26 season.
Roy Keane has sensationally accused Sir Alex Ferguson of "hanging on like a bad smell" at Manchester United. The legendary Scot retired from management in 2013 on the back of leading the Red Devils to a 13th Premier League title. He remains a regular presence at Old Trafford, with Darren Fletcher admitting that he spoke to his fellow countryman before agreeing to take charge of United on an interim basis following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane has revealed who he wants to succeed Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are back in the market for a new manager after parting company with a Portuguese tactician, and former captain Keane believes that they should look close to home by trying to prise Eddie Howe away from Premier League rivals Newcastle.
Kobbie Mainoo is currently in a challenging situation at Manchester United, grappling with a lack of consistent playing time under head coach Ruben Amorim this season, a dynamic made more public by a controversial t-shirt display from his half-brother. But he has been urged to focus on football and prove everyone wrong, rather than leave the club on loan in January, by club legend Roy Keane.
Roy Keane left Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Ashley Cole and Jamie Carragher in stitches during the latest episode of The Overlap.

Roy Keane believes Liverpool can no longer be considered Premier League title contenders, saying their 3-0 thumping at Manchester City proves they are in a "crisis". Goals from Erling Haaland, Nico Gonzalez, and Jeremy Doku saw Pep Guardiola’s City confirm themselves as the likeliest challengers to league leaders Arsenal, in what was a damaging defeat for the reigning champions.
Roy Keane has claimed that his infamous leg-breaker on Erling Haaland's dad, Alfie, was not an unfair challenge. To get a bigger picture and understand the magnitude of Keane’s fury, you have to rewind to September 1997, when Manchester United faced Leeds United at Elland Road.

Roy Keane had absolutely no sympathy for Rory McIlroy, who was on the receiving end of abuse at the Ryder Cup in New York last month. Team Europe claimed an impressive 15-13 win over Team USA but insults were aimed at McIlroy and Shane Lowry over the weekend at Bethpage Black, yet no-nonsense man Keane pulled no punches in his assessment of the abuse sent in the direction of the Irish golfers.
Former Manchester United star Wes Brown picked a shock name as his hardest team-mate, and did not mention Roy Keane. Instead of the fiery former captain, Brown, who also played for the likes of Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers, instead chose Keane's midfield partner, who was more known for his tidy passing than his temper.
