JUST BECAUSE YOU GET £120K A WEEK YOU THINK YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR
KEANOGATE EXCLUSIVE WHAT ROY SAID ABOUT RIO IN THAT INTERVIEW
By Neil Mcleman
MIRROR SPORT lifts the lid today on the Roy Keane interview that has torn
Manchester United apart.
The United captain named and shamed nearly the whole team which was humiliated
4-1 at Middlesbrough on Saturday night. But we can reveal that Keane reserved
his most stinging criticism for England defender Rio Ferdinand.
He told MUTV in the interview they were banned from broadcasting: "Just because
you are paid £120,000-a-week and play well for 20 minutes against Tottenham,
you think you are a superstar.
"The younger players have been let down by some of the more experienced
players. They are just not of characters in the team. It seems to be in this
club that you have to play badly to be rewarded.
"Maybe that is what I should do when I come back. Play badly."
The sarcasm in Keane's words could not hide his continuing passion for a club
he believes is failing its fans.
And Keane was last night said to be "unrepentant" over the interview but is
angry at the way he has been treated.
United's desire to preserve harmony within the squad may see his leaving date
brought forward to the January transfer window. Sources close to fiery Irishman
Keane last night revealed the 34-year-old's fury at not being informed until
late on about the decision to pull his interview because of its controversial
content.
Chief executive David Gill (above) gave the order after viewing the tape.
United's players are contracted to appear on MUTV and air their views on
matters at Old Trafford, with manager Sir Alex Ferguson happy in the past for
his captain to act as his mouthpiece.
That is why Keane is furious that what he saw as constructive criticism and
honest forthright views were deemed to be potentially too damaging to be
broadcast.

ROY KEANE has been sitting on the sidelines for six weeks watching Manchester
United slip behind Wigan, Bolton and Charlton in the title race. And he has had
enough.
We can reveal in the 'Plays the Pundit' slot on MUTV that has erupted in
controversy, Keane not only laid into defender Rio Ferdinand's approach, but
harshly criticised senior players and attacked the younger members of United's
faltering team.
They trail Premiership leaders Chelsea by 13 points and are far from certain of
progressing in the Champions League and Keane said: "There is talk about
putting this right in January and bringing players in. We should be doing the
opposite - we should be getting rid of people in January."
Keane has often acted as Sir Alex Ferguson's public mouthpiece, but it was the
manager who made the decision not to broadcast the interview after he was
alerted to its contents.
The player is understood to be standing by his criticisms which included harsh
words for the multi-millionaire senior players who he believes are responsible
for the general malaise at the two-time European champions.
He named keeper Edwin Van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Ruud van Nistelrooy, but
reserved his most pointed attack for Ferdinand, who delayed signing a new deal
in the summer until he had secured club record wages of £6.24 million a year.
"Just because you are paid £120,000-a-week and play well for 20 minutes against
Tottenham, you think you are a superstar.
"The younger players have been let down by some of the more experienced ones -
they are not leading. There is a shortage of characters.
"It seems to be in this club you have to play badly to be rewarded. Maybe that
is what I should do when I come back - play badly."
In his analysis of Saturday's humiliating 4-1 defeat by Middlesbrough Keane
admitted: "I wasn't surprised by the result I had been expecting one like this.
"The players have been asked questions and they are just not coming up with the
answers.
"I am sick of having to say it and they are sick of listening to me.
"They have let down the club, the manager, and the fans.
"When they sign the contracts, they think they have made it. They owe it to the
manager, the staff and the fans."
Keane also slammed the young generation of players he says have failed to win
the trophies to justify their inflated wages. "These guys thought getting new
contracts was the best day of their careers," he said.
"They think they have made it. They haven't."
And the United captain insisted a long injury list also including Gary Neville,
Gabriel Heinze and Ryan Giggs could not be used as an excuse for a lack of
effort on the pitch.
"The fact they are out should be enough incentive for those coming in to play
better and give more," he said. "It is not enough to play well for 20 minutes,
it is a 90-minute game.
"You get well rewarded but you have to put the hard work to earn those
rewards."
But last month the former Ireland midfielder shocked the Old Trafford hierarchy
by using MUTV to announce he will quit the club at the end of the season after
failing to be offered a new deal.
And this time the 34-year-old, out with a broken foot, has gone even further in
a rant resembling his famous outburst against Ireland manager Mick McCarthy at
the last World Cup.
Just a fortnight ago Sir Alex was still claiming Keane could be persuaded to
sign a one-year contract extension and play a 14th season at Old Trafford.
And Keane did avoid directly criticising the United manager and said "he will
put it right."
But doing so with a dressing room still including Keane appears impossible.
WHAT ROY SAID IN THAT INTERVIEW
KEANE ON: EDWIN VAN DER SAR
Analysing the first goal United condeded against Middlesbrough, when Edwin Van
der Sar let slip a 30-yard shot... He should have saved that. That was saveable
KEANE ON: JOHN O'SHEA
He's just strolling around when he should have been busting a gut to get back
KEANE ON: RIO FERDINAND
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink robbed Ferdinand for the second goal... I have seen
that happen to Rio before. It is poor defending
KEANE ON: DARREN FLETCHER
I can't understand why people in Scotland rave about Darren Fletcher
KEANE ON: KEIRAN RICHARDSON
On the penalty Richardson gave away.... He is a lazy defender who deserved to
get punished.. he wasn't doing his job
KEANE ON: ALAN SMITH
What is he doing there? He is wandering around as if he is lost. He doesn't
know what he is doing
