Dunno why, but that’s hilarious if true. Ole coming across like a David Brent type character there.

I’d love to have known the reasoning behind that because he doesn’t come across like that kind of bloke.

It’s not quite as good as Eddie Large giving the half time team talk but it’s getting there
 
Carragher is spot on, even though he’s a prick

Keane has spent his whole career banging on about the standards expected of a professional. The mental gymnastics he’s going through to defend Ronaldo, who’s been wholly unprofessional, are bizarre.

He wouldn’t have put up with it if he was still playing with him, so why is he defending him?

I think Keane hates the rags as much as we do at this point. Hasn't had a nice thing to say about them for years.

Because they're ~SeRiAl wInNaRz~ according to the Twitter dickheads. So's Kevin de Bruyne and I bet he doesn't act like that. (I had my hair cut recently and the guy who did my hair turned out to be a City fan who's cut KDB's hair as well. Nice lad, apparently.)

I hope ten Hag makes him stack cones.

I think the answer is pretty obvious, he doesn't want Ron to blank him live on Sky Sports. Anyone who says anything even mildly critical of Ron is dead to him. You're either all in on Ron, or he doesn't wanna know you.

Just look at Rooney, who was fairly complimentary about him on the radio the other day - going as far as to suggest Ron could still be an asset to United. Ron fires back by getting personal saying he looks better than Rooney - it's literally all he's got.

Still, it's nice to watch Ron's career well on the way to implosion. Instead of basking in legendary status, picking up fat wages based on his former abilities and being a good role model, he's acting like my 7 year old son when I refuse to buy him more Robux.
 
Reminds me of the Elano interview on sky sports but multiplied by 1 million.
I am surprised someone who values his image and perception so much has done things this way, he must feel desperate to react this way.
 
He should have kept his mouth shut and scarpered in the January transfer window to some MLS team or Serie A on loan.

What a horrible way to ruin your reputation with the fans. He's always wanted to be the number 1 for attention so it's not surprising.

Pogba had too much power at United that he could do what he wanted. It looks like Ten Hags won't put up with Ronaldo's nonsense though

Because Keane is a starstruck little fanboy who had his own unprofessional streak in him. Ronaldo has a bunch of ex-pros in the media whose entire claim to fame is they played with him and want to recycle that anecdote at after dinner speaking gigs and Sky Sport studios and are worried it'll disappear when Ronaldo does.

I can think of only two reasons why he'd do this...

To create a narrative for potential suitors that the reason he appears a bust flush isn't because he is one but because the rags were mean to him and didn't create the conditions for him to thrive. However, given he'll just be able to walk into a mega contract in one of multiple half-cocked leagues around the world this would seem unnecessary unless he is deluded enough to think he still has another big team in him, which leads to the second reason..

Once a narcissist always a narcissist
 
The ponce's fall from grace at the swamp has happened quicker than I anticipated. It was always going to happen, of that most of us were sure, but it's only been a few months into the season and his time there is already over.
He's pretty much alienated every plastic on the earth with his comments, and I suspect many die-hard rags will be pissed off with him too - but the club still has to pay him half a million quid every week....Ha ha, fucking well played raggies, and that surly, bullying bastard who put it all on you.
