Rio Ferdinand explained what happened between Roy Keane and Sir Alex Ferguson after the former’s famous MUTV rant.
“We get beat by Middlesbrough, everyone plays rubbish. Roy Keane does the video analysis and destroys the whole team, including me. He goes through people individually and hammers them.“The manager, before it goes out, gets wind of it, cancels it going out, says it ain't going out anywhere, that is a disgrace, it can't happen.“Calls a meeting at the training ground, we all go into the manager's office, watch it and the manager goes off.
According to Ferdinand, Ferguson subsequently told the squad that Keane would not play for the club again, with the Ireland midfielder departing United two weeks later, signing for Celtic.Ferdinand added that there was “some mad stuff” said between Keane and the coaching staff during the altercation.
He said: “Roy has a go back, it kicks off between the coach and Roy again, some mad stuff said. The next day we go into training, the manager calls a meeting as we go on the training pitch and says, ‘Just so you know Roy Keane will never play for this football club again.'”decision sent to the rest of the team, Ferdinand said: “Shiver me timbers. Do not **** with this guy, do not mess with Sir Alex. This guy is the truth. This guy is the coldest dude about.
“The manager says not on my watch, this ain't happening. My man is done, he's done. He's doing that, he will never wear this kit again, looking around and all of a sudden he goes, let's go and train.“I know some man's legs were flaky after that on the way over, like spaghetti on the way to the training pitch, because Sir Alex Ferguson's cold, you've got to be cold in those situations.
