On Friday, United were eliminated by Middlesbrough in the FA Cup and only have the possibility of winning the Champions League this season, which means That United are expected to continue the curse of not being able to win since 2017.
After United were out, Carragher taunted Keane on social networks, "He also told me that United signed Ronaldo back to win the FA Cup. ”
Carragher's remarks refer to an argument between the two three months ago. In November 2021, after Manchester United drew 1-1 away to Chelsea, Carragher and Keane engaged in a heated debate on Sky Sports.
Carragher first questioned Cristiano Ronaldo, "From the point of view of goals, Ronaldo is a phenomenal player. However, I mentioned this in midweek. Paris signed Messi and Manchester United signed Cristiano Ronaldo. Are United closer to a title? No! Are Paris and Messi closer to the Champions League? No! ”
Keane responded, "Cristiano Ronaldo will never let United win the Premier League again! ”
Carragher shot back, "Then what's the point of signing him?!" He's 37 years old! ”
Keane said: "He didn't come back to win the Premier League title. ”
Carragher asked, "So what did he come back for?!" So what did he come here for? ”
Keane replied, "Aren't you excited when you win the FA Cup?" United are now a cup-playing team. ”
Carragher asked again, "You said that Ronaldo did not come back to win the championship, what did he come for?" ”
Keane replied again, "For the FA Cup." ”
Carragher said: "Is this where United are now? ”
Keane said, "Absolutely. ”
Carragher asked again, "So, are you happy with this?" ”
Keane replied, "I'm not satisfied, but that's where I am." Look at Manchester United, and then look at the other teams in the league, who can't win the league in two to three years. ”
