Former United star Roy Keane is a hot-tempered player who has clashed with many players during his career, and the Mirror has counted six players, including Keane's teammates and opponents he has faced.
Peter Schmeichel
Not many United players dare to say they are qualified to compete with Keane with seniority and respect, but Schmeichel is clearly not among those players. In 1998, as United prepared for pre-season, Keane and Schmeichel had a verbal altercation at the hotel, which Keane recalled in his autobiography: Schmeichel said to me, I've had enough of you, it's time for us to solve this problem. I said, okay. Then we started fighting and it felt like we were fighting for ten minutes, and Schmeichel was a big hunk. He grabbed me, and then I hit him with my head, and we fought for a long time.
The duo were later reprimanded by Ferguson for waking up club legend Bobby Charlton.
Winnie Jones
In the '90s, Winnie Jones was one of the few players who dared to confront Keane. Keane enjoys physical confrontations against opponents in games, and he is also experienced in this regard, and in the 1994 FA Cup, Jones also taught Keane his style.
Jones has said: "I didn't hear much of him when I played against Keane, to be honest I don't even remember me fouling him, he was a really good player, but in my opinion he ranks behind the likes of Steve McMahon and Brian Robson. ”
Alain Shearer
In a Newcastle 4-3 win over Manchester United, Keane deliberately smashed the ball at Shearer and was shown a red card, and the two also had an impolite conversation.
Keane waited for Hiller in the players' tunnel after the game, and Shearer said: "I'm sure we'll say something more ugly between us, maybe there will be physical clashes, but there are too many people standing between us, so nothing happens, and that's usually the way football matches are. ”
Gabriel Heinze
The Argentine defender is not a shy man, having only briefly worked with Keane at Manchester United.
Heinze revealed in a 2017 interview: "After a defeat, the two of us took the lead back to the dressing room, I couldn't understand English, but I heard Keane say my name and mix it with a few swear words, and then I stood in front of him and hit him back with the same swear words, which I don't remember what happened later." ”
Vieira
For a while, The rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal was the rivalry between Keane and Vieira, and the two men were the facades of their respective teams. The players' tunnel is the easiest place for stories to happen, and Vieira is trying to maintain the same attitude as on the pitch.
In the 99-00 season, Keane swept in the direction of Vieira after losing a five-five-five ball, neither of them backed down, and finally separated under the tugging of teammates and referees.
The two now have a good relationship, they have been guests together more than once, but the situation is very different.
Haaland
Keane is known to have had a notorious foul on the elder Haaland, but in fact Haaland caused Keane's cruciate ligament injury in the 97-98 season.
Keane later recalled: "I didn't mean to injure Haaland, I was injured in 1997, he was injured in 2001, we played three or four games in between, if I want to get revenge I have to wait until then? ”
