Surly Man Utd star left Roy Keane unimpressed during squad address

Manchester United legend Roy Keane was left upset with one senior player after returning to the club last week to speak with the squad.

The Mirror says the outspoken Irishman was left unimpressed with a United star, who has not been named, for his approach to the talk.

It is believed that the unnamed player was sat slouched in his chair and bore a disinterested expression throughout Keane's address.

The 48-year-old has not been cute in his views on his former club, often seen exasperated at their performances during his punditry duties on Sky Sports.

Keane was, however, left unimpressed with the attitude of one unnamed star during the talk

Keane is said to have spoken to the players about setting and maintaining high standards in training and on matchdays, having a strong mentality among the group and making the sacrifices required to be champions.

And the talk appears to have done the team good. United have earned two big wins in their last two Premier League games, beating Jose Mourinho's Spurs at Old Trafford in midweek before seeing off league champions and arch rivals Manchester City on Saturday.
