News about Roy Keane

Rooney, 38, will star alongside the likes of Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Jill Scott, and Jamie Carragher in the channel's array of YouTube and podcast content. Launched by Neville in 2021, The Overlap has become one of football's most agenda-setting voices, landing exclusives with big names and covering all the big talking points every week.

The contentious passage of Mark Clattenburg's autobiography that led to a frosty coming together with Roy Keane has been uncovered. On a recent episode of Sky's Stick to Football podcast, Keane recounted an incident with the former Premier League referee at the 2022 World Cup. The Manchester United was at the tournament for punditry duties and bumped into Clattenburg alongside his podcast co-host Gary Neville.

Keane (bottom) made headlines last month for his scathing criticism of the forward, who he slammed for his general play in a period when he was struggling for form in his bid to help Manchester City's Treble push. That push is now over due to the club's Champions League exit to Real Madrid, a game in which Haaland (top) picked up an injury that saw him miss his side's FA Cup semi-final win and 4-0 victory against Brighton.

Roy Keane and Paul Merson have slammed one of Tottenham's players before stating that Martin Odegaard will 'absolutely destroy him' in the north London derby. Mikel Arteta's side are looking to return to the top of the Premier League with victory over their rivals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: The image is one of the most arresting of the season. The date is March 2 and Darwin Nunez has just scored for Liverpool in the ninth minute of stoppage time, to secure a controversial 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Yet again, Forest feel wronged by a crucial refereeing decision moments earlier and not long after the final whistle sounds, players and staff march towards the officials, boiling with rage. Forest coach Steven Reid turns the air blue and is subsequently banned from the touchline for his tirade at referee Paul Tierney. There are boos and catcalls. Amid it all, owner Evangelos Marinakis stands alone on the touchline, a study in brooding anger.

Michail Antonio (left) has hit out at Roy Keane's (right) 'dinosaur mentality' after the Manchester United legend criticised players who host podcasts. The West Ham striker has co-hosted the BBC Sounds Footballer's Football podcast since 2021 along with Callum Wilson, and more recently, Fulham captain Tom Cairney. Keane, without mentioning any names, told the Stick to Football podcast: 'I think that [podcasts] can be a distraction for a player, particularly if you're on the back of a defeat, and you're in the next day and everyone is having a bit of a laugh.' Antonio, in his latest podcast with Cairney, has swiped back at the Manchester United legend and explained the advantages of hosting them.

Roy Keane (left of main pic) and Ian Wright (right of main pic) clashed over Bruno Fernandes (right) and whether he is a good influence in the Manchester United dressing room. Fernandes, 29, has been one of the bright sparks at Old Trafford in recent years, adding 143 goal contributions in 229 games since his 2020 move from Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese midfielder has again been a standout star for United this time around in what has been a chaotic and underwhelming campaign, with Erik ten Hag's side marred by problems both on and off the pitch.

Roy Keane has urged he could 'never forgive himself' as a Manchester United player in a furious rant about his former team after they were embarrassed by Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday. United narrowly edged past the Championship outfit on penalties after squandering a three-goal lead in the second half - and nearly exited the competition in the dying moments of extra time before a late Coventry goal was ruled out for offside.  Despite making it to a second successive FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City next month, the Red Devils have been heavily criticised by pundits and fans since Sunday's clash at Wembley, with Erik ten Hag's future as manager hanging by a thread.

Gary Neville has revealed how Roy Keane refused to shake Mark Clattenburg's hand after a frosty encounter between the two back in 2022.  Clattenburg has recently made headlines after Nottingham Forest - who he works as a referee consultant for - released a statement accusing VAR Stuart Attwell of showing favouritism towards Luton in the relegation battle. The former official then doubled down on the club's sentiments in his exclusive column for Mail Sport on Sunday, before Neville insisted Clattenburg 'must resign' from his role at Forest.

A former Manchester United striker has weighed in to give his opinion on the Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi debate. Messi and Ronaldo are the two standout stars of their generation, winning 13 Ballon d'Ors and numerous titles between them, but it has long been a divisive issue in the game over who is better. Several big names have sided for one or the other, with the likes of Fabio Capello and Gary Lineker on the Argentine's side, while others such as Roy Keane have backed Ronaldo.

Former England boss Fabio Capello has weighed in to give his opinion on the Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi debate. Messi and Ronaldo are the two stars of their generation, winning 13 Ballon d'Ors and numerous titles between them, but it has long been a divisive issue in the game over who is better. Several big names have sided for one or the other, with the likes of Eden Hazard and Gary Lineker on the Argentine's side, while others such as Roy Keane have backed Ronaldo.

Roy Keane could not resist taking a dig at his fellow pundits after accusing them of cheering on Coventry during their remarkable comeback against Manchester United in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final. United appeared to be cruising to victory to set up a repeat of last year's final against Manchester City when they opened up a three-goal lead inside the opening hour thanks to strikes from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. But Coventry came roaring back by scoring three times in the final 20 minutes to force extra time, and they almost pulled off one of the biggest wins in their history when substitute Victor Torp netted in the final minute only for VAR to rule that there had been an offside in the build-up.

Manchester United's Antony has been described as a 'shameless prat' after he goaded defeated Coventry players with an ear-cupping celebration. The £85million Brazilian mocked the Sky Blues after his team scraped into the FA Cup final on penalties having chucked away a three-goal lead and then escaped defeat by a tight VAR offside decision. After Rasmus Hojlund scored the decisive penalty, Antony was among a handful of United players who celebrated, with the overriding emotion one of relief and acute embarrassment.

Manchester United's players were left divided over whether to celebrate after beating Coventry on penalties in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. As Rasmus Hojlund dispatched the decisive spot-kick to send United through to the final against rivals Manchester City, half of the team celebrated, while some players elected not to. Antony, for example, cupped his ear to the Coventry fans, which drew criticism from pundit Clinton Morrison.

Roy Keane has disagreed with Harry Maguire 's comments after Manchester United 's FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry and insisted the Red Devils 'rode their luck' to make it past the Championship outfit. The former United captain ripped into Erik ten Hag 's side after seeing them give up a 3-0 lead in a thrilling encounter at Wembley. Though, United eventually progressed to the final after a shootout victory, Keane believes the side is absent of leaders and bemoaned the 'same conversations' that are had about the team's failings.

Alfie Haaland has come to the defence of his son Erling Haaland in light of the criticism aimed at him from old rival Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher. The Manchester City striker is leading the Premier League goal-scoring charts once again this season, with 17 goals, one ahead of Ollie Watkins . However, after he drew a blank in last month's goalless draw with Arsenal , Roy Keane sensationally labelled the Norwegian's all round play, the standard of a 'League Two player.' Jamie Carragher then hit out at Haaland after Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Real Madrid in midweek, by suggesting the striker is one of the world's great goal-scorers but is not 'world-class.' Now, Haaland's father, the former City and Nottingham Forest midfielder has backed the forward by defending his record at the club.

The former Manchester United boss hasn't taken charge of a side since being sacked by the Red Devils in 2021, though has said on a number of occasions that he is keen to re-enter the industry. He had led the likes of Cardiff and Molde prior to becoming a coach at United, and took over permanently when Jose Mourinho left three years prior to his departure. In his media appearances since, he has spoken regularly about his playing days at United, including linking up with Roy Keane and joining the former United captain on his Sky podcast 'Stick to Football'.

IAN LADYMAN: By all accounts Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger was pretty pleased with the way he handled Manchester City's Erling Haaland in the Bernabeu on Tuesday night.  Rudiger had talked up the battle beforehand and walked off the field believing he had won it. He must have overlooked the fact he was part of a defence that conceded three goals. And this is the thing about football. It's a team game and Haaland is an integral part of the best one in Europe. 

Roy Keane has made clear his views on active athletes doing their own podcasts - and unsurprisingly it wouldn't be his cup of tea. Premier League stars Callum Wilson of Newcastle and Michail Antonio of West Ham hosts their own podcast on the BBC.  The subject was discussed on the latest episode of Stick to Football following the extraordinary success of the 'New Heights' podcast fronted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce.

Roy Keane has doubled down on his comments about Erling Haaland's general play not being good enough, having criticised the Manchester City striker following his poor performance against Arsenal last month. Manchester City were held to a goalless draw by their Premier League rivals at the Etihad on March 31, and Keane has now stood by his scathing assessment of the Norwegian forward in a discussion with  Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Gary Neville. Haaland endured a frustrating afternoon against the Gunners' thrifty defence which restricted him to few touches in the game and caused Keane to hit out in his post-match analysis. 

Former NFL star JJ Watt has opened up on why he decided to invest in Premier League club Burnley last year. Watt, 35, who played for 12 seasons in the NFL before retiring in 2023, became a minority investor alongside his wife Kealia - an ex-professional footballer - last May, as the club secured promotion to the Premier League. Appearing on the Stick to Football podcast alongside Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott, Watt - who has previously admitted he is a Chelsea fan - explained what attracted him to Burnley. 

IAN HERBERT: Because he doesn't shout about it, letting his feelings be known to millions all the time in the contemporary way, it's easy to forget what a giant presence Bryan Robson is at Manchester United. When Sir Bobby Charlton was struggling, Robson quietly took on some of his tasks as the face and figurehead of the club and though no-one is broadcasting the fact, he has filled the great man's giant boots as the club's elder statesman now. There's something very fitting about that, because for the players of real genius who've pulled on the jersey - Sir Bobby, Roy Keane , Paul Scholes - Robson was, and is, one of the first picks in an all-time best United XI. He's a link back to the past, at a time when the memory of Busby and the spirit of Wembley, 1968 dims in the collective memory. The look on Robson's face when I encountered him at Nobby Stiles' funeral, a few years back, told you what the members of that great team meant to him. He was devastated.

Roy Keane's punditry is still cutting through like a scythe in a world of waffle, soft touch platitudes, and lazy cliche. In the television studio, the former Manchester United captain delivers his verdict in the same no-nonsense way he delivered his tackles on the field. Whether it's comparing Erling Haaland's all-round game to a League Two player or savaging the United's'small club' mentality, Keane does not waste a word, pull a punch, or fail to set the tone.

OLIVER HOLT: Jurgen Klopp sat in the press conference room at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon and responded to a question I asked about Jarell Quansah and the tenacity of his youth center back after he made a rare mistake that resulted in a second half equalizer for Erik ten Hag's side. As one would expect, Klopp talked well about Quansah. Any of his teammates, Virgil van Dijk included, had already dismissed the belief that Quansah should bear any responsibility for Liverpool's losing points. It was evident to the majority that if there was an underlying reason for Liverpool's loss, it was because they missed too many chances. 'I'm a footballer in the Premier League and playing for Liverpool, so I have the bad news it won't be the last mistake in his life,' Klopp said. That's how life is. I was sure he did a good job with it. However, there are no social media pages for our heroes who made these types of mistakes in the past, so I hope he's smart enough to avoid these situations.'
