News about Roy Keane

Roy Keane was spotted in attendance as his local team Cork City were crowned First Division champions in Ireland on Friday night. The former Man United and Republic of Ireland captain grew up in Cork and has spoken of his love of the city. Keane has been seen on several occasions in the past watching Cork City on his return trips to Ireland, as he juggles punditry work in England.

The Manchester United legend was reminiscing about his stint managing Sunderland between 2006 and 2008, during which time he won them promotion to the Premier League. Keane left the Stadium of Light after a feud with majority shareholder Ellis Short - but not before he'd dealt with a player's transfer request in typically stern style.

In a bygone era, football fans used to live off pints and pork scratchings as they stood on freezing terraces to watch their heroes kick lumps out of each other (and the turf). Those days are gone. Modern supporters expect a higher grade of hospitality as they settle into their cushioned seats to chat to their neighbour about low blocks and false nines. Roy Keane 's 'prawn sandwich brigade' has been replaced by the falafel wrap and butter chicken brigades. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium even reportedly offers a pumpkin and pine nut ravioli with vine tomato sauce and basil pesto. The north London side's fans are, in fact, among the most well-fed in the country, with fancy two-course meals available on request to absorb pints which are filled up from the bottom of the cup in just ten seconds.

Pep Guardiola has spoken out on his future at Manchester City ahead of making a huge call on his managerial future. Guardiola, who has enjoyed much success since being appointed as City boss in 2016, sees his current contract expire at the end of this season. Roy Keane has suggested that Guardiola should the next England manager, with the FA yet to appoint a permanent successor to Gareth Southgate. 

The Liverpool star doubled England's lead with a gorgeous strike from 25 yards in the second half, helping Lee Carsley get back to winning ways. Alexander-Arnold started at left-back as an experiment for the 3-1 win - as Mail Sport had forecasted - and went on the score a seven in this outlet's player ratings. Keane nodded to the goal but was far more eager to tear down the 26-year-old for his defending, which he believes could be calamitous against sterner opposition.

Roy Keane has had his say on who should be appointed the next permanent England manager, following their 3-1 win over Finland. After a humiliating defeat against Greece in midweek, Lee Carsley was tasked with provoking a reaction out of his side in their latest Nations League fixture. The interim boss continued to be bold in his selections, with Dean Henderson handed a first cap in four years and Trent Alexander-Arnold deployed in left-back for the first time in his career.

England fans are split in their opinions of Trent Alexander-Arnold's performance in an unconventional role as the Three Lions faced Finland in Helsinki. Despite England slumping to a disappointing defeat against Greece in midweek Lee Carsley was once again bold in his selections for Sunday's Nations League clash. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson was handed just his second senior cap for the Three Lions and his first since 2020, while Alexander-Arnold was deployed at left back.

Roy Keane has heaped praise on Angel Gomes for his assist in England's opening goal against Finland.  The 24-year-old started for the Three Lions for the second time in Saturday's fixture having also appeared from the start in the reverse fixture against Finland.  England took the lead after 18 minutes through Jack Grealish's clinical finish into he bottom corner. 

Following the 2-1 defeat by Greece on Thursday night, he claimed that he will 'hopefully go back to the Under-21s' after his six-game interim spell is over, sparking questions over how much he wants to be Gareth Southgate's successor. The Football Association now has major reservations that Carsley - so successful at youth level - wants to make the permanent step up.

Sir Alex Ferguson's 1998-1999 immense Treble-winning side completed a feat that few would have thought possible in their capturing of the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup.  Although the Manchester City team of 2022-23 matched their achievement after a number of years of near-misses, many still see the retro Red Devils outfit as the pinnacle of English football.  But how would the serial winners fare in the contemporary Premier League landscape? 

Greece were good value for their win on Thursday night and had the ball in England's net on five occasions, though three of their goals were ruled out. Vangelis Pavlidis scored both goals - including a 94th minute winner - to dampen the intrigue infused by a creative and attacking set-up laid on by Lee Carsley .

Roy Keane believes that Manchester United need an upgrade in midfield to close the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool . The Red Devils secured a 0-0 draw in their final game before the international break to shield their embattled manager Erik ten Hag from a haze of further fire - which presumably would have been enough to see him removed from his post. But despite the somewhat positive result against Champions League-chasers Aston Villa , United remained 14th in the division and have had their worst start to a Premier League campaign.

Roy Keane has sensationally claimed that he's 'given up' on Manchester United as he questioned the 'culture' at the club amid their struggling form. The Red Devils have had a disappointing start to the 2024-25 campaign and pressure is beginning to mount on first-team head coach Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag has lead the 13-time Premier League champions to their worst ever start in the competition, as they sit 14th in the table on just eight points from seven matches.

A photo shared by his mother Georgina Rodriguez on Instagram shows the 14-year-old sat at a table studying with the player's name and number on his back. Ronaldo's eldest son has followed his father wherever he has played, featuring for Juventus, Manchester United, and Al-Nassr's academies.

Three principles to Arsenal's 'darks arts' tactics have been revealed after Mikel Arteta was spotted checking over his notepad on Saturday afternoon.  Throughout the season, the Gunners have been accused of extensive time-wasting from dead ball situations and many have suggested that Arteta's side make use of football's 'dark arts'.  It has drawn a range of opinions from pundits - such as Ian Wright who approved while Roy Keane slammed Arsenal for doing so in their draw with Man City last month.

Keane made a name for himself with his hard-man persona during his playing days, which saw him win countless accolades and captain Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. Since his retirement, he has dabbled in both coaching and punditry, and is currently known for telling it how he sees it on Sky Sports' Premier League coverage and on ITV. Apparently, however, Keane is portraying himself as a 'tough' man who isn't quite as hard as he thinks he is.

Arsenal were accused of extensive time-wasting from dead ball situations and blocking Ederson from corner kicks, while controversy has sprung up over David Raya going down. It has drawn a range of opinions from pundits - Ian Wright approved while Roy Keane slammed Arsenal for playing like a 'small club with a small mentality'. But what does Chris Sutton and Ian Ladyman think on the latest episode of It's All Kicking Off!?

The former midfield hardman pilloried the Gunners for 'just booting it' after going down to 10 men and has argued that their similar showing against Brighton proves their minnow mindset. Arsenal almost clung on for victory against City after playing the second half without Leandro Trossard - similar to their defensive display after losing Declan Rice in the 1-1 draw with Brighton in August. Ian Wright felt Keane was too harsh in blaming Mikel Arteta 's men for resorting to a tactic that had them in the lead until John Stones ' 98th-minute intervention.

Roy Keane has criticised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for his post-match comments about refereeing decisions throughout the Gunners' 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Arteta specifically bemoaned referee Michael Oliver's decision to send Arsenal midfielder Leandro Trossard off, just before half time, after the player received a second booking for kicking away a ball that had gone out play. Speaking in his post-match interview with Sky Sports, the Arsenal boss alluded to an inconsistencies in the game's officiating, after it appeared City winger Jeremy Doku similarly appeared to delay play by kicking the ball away.

Roy Keane called on Arsenal to 'show a little bit more' in big games after watching Mikel Arteta's side draw 2-2 at Arsenal on Sunday. Arsenal played the entire second half with 10 men after Leandro Trossard was sent off just before the interval. The Gunners had been leading 2-1, slightly against the run of play, when Trossard went off - after strikes from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel had followed Erling Haaland's 100th City goal. But City eventually equalised in the 98th minute when John Stones bundled home following a short corner routine.

Manchester City were 'void of ideas' in their attempts to break down 10-men Arsenal in Sunday's all-time Premier League classic clash, claimed former Gunners star Paul Merson. Mikel Arteta 's side were on the verge of a most memorable first Premier League victory over City at the Etihad under the Spaniard's tenure, before John Stones tapped in a late equaliser.

Roy Keane dropped his tough guy act for a split second after a hilarious encounter with one of his former bitter rivals. Keane appeared in the studio alongside Sky Sports regulars Micah Richards, Theo Walcott and Paul Merson today ahead of Brighton vs Nottingham Forest. The star-studded line-up were also joined by Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira via a video link from Chicago, where he was hosting an event for American fans.

The Manchester United legend is a seven-time Premier League winner but even he can admit who would frighten him. Keane, an Old Trafford mainstay from 1993 to 2005, claimed he would have been 'twisted inside out' by the maestro.

England midfielder Angel Gomes was sent off as Lille suffered a 2-0 defeat against Sporting Lisbon in their opening Champions League match in Lisbon.  The 24-year-old former Manchester United star made his full debut for the Three Lions in their 2-0 win over Finland last week.  He impressed with his composure and industriousness, with Ian Wright and Roy Keane among those leading his praises.
