Tim Howard has opened up on his time playing under Roy Keane at Manchester United admitting he was too scared to accept a dinner invite from the Red Devils legend
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard admits he rejected a dinner invitation from ex-captain Roy Keane during his time at the club.
Despite turning down the invite, Howard detailed how Roy Keane was acutely aware of everything happening within the club even at a personal level. "I was a young, foreign player but he knew everything that was going on within the club. He knew my family had gone home," he said. "He knew I was on my own. No one sees that side of Roy he is very much a gentleman in so many ways.
"Roy is an incredibly well-read, intelligent, and thoughtful man," Howard expressed. "But he is also not someone who is going to share that with just any and everybody. Not everyone gets that side of Roy Keane. You have to earn that side of him What I learned at a young age was that his expectations were incredibly high. But if you pushed yourself to that level, then you were able to understand him more. If you didn't take shortcuts, then he had respect for you.
