Former Manchester United captain and current Sunderland manager, Roy Keane has spoken out on the Cristiano Ronaldo “slavery” comment by Sepp Blatter, but probably not how many United faithful would wish.
FIFA president, Sepp Blatter caused a lot of controversy last week when he told English media that United’s refusal to sell Ronaldo to Real Madrid along with threats of punishing him for being disloyal to the club, was the same as ‘modern day slavery’.
Keane told ‘The Sun’ that Cristiano Ronaldo should piss off Fergie if he wants to leave the Red Devils.
“If a player wants to leave, all he has to do is train with the wrong attitude and I guarantee you’d piss off any manager,” Keane said in The Sun.
“There’s not much loyalty left in football, unfortunately, from my own experiences. Clubs sell players sometimes like a piece of meat, so if a player wants to go and better himself, good luck to him.
“When a club is finished with you, they get rid. My advice is look after yourself,”
“If you get a chance for bigger and better things, then go for it. I’ve experienced that myself.
“People question players’ loyalty. I question clubs’ loyalty. It’s a business to them.
“If you’re not needed then you can be out of the door in 10 minutes, and I’m speaking from experience. Clubs buy and sell players. Clubs sell players sometimes like a piece of meat.”
nice see Keane talk truth.
