Man Utd legend Keane stands by his Ferguson attack

Manchester United legend Roy Keane stands by his slating of Sir Alex Ferguson in his latest book.

Keane insists the way he takes apart Ferguson in 'The Second Half' is "not sad".

He told the Mail on Sunday: "Why is it sad? Did you think we were going to be pals? Did you speak to Bryan Robson? Did you ever speak to Steve Bruce? Did you ever speak privately to them when they left? Do you think it was a pals' act for them?

"I knew what was coming. Brucie at the cup final. Robbo at the Cup final. Speak to their wives about what happened to them at the end of their careers.

"So I don't think I ever thought it would be any different because that's what happens with him. Do you think Ruud van Nistelrooy left well? Do you think Becks left well? To be fair, Becks and Ruud did have moves lined up. But I didn't. I was leaving with a broken foot."
