Keane sacked by MU?

RTE Radio reported at lunchtime today that Roy Keane was sacked by Manchester United and did not leave by mutual consent.

RTE’s sports editor, Tony O’Donoghue, claimed that Keane’s family had said Roy had turned up for a reserve game last night and was told there was no place for him. When Keane asked why, he was told to ring Alex Ferguson.

When he rang Ferguson he was the told to speak to his agent, Michael Kennedy.

If this version of events stands up to be true, it’s a pretty disgraceful way to sack the best player ever to play for Manchester United. I would have thought Alex Ferguson would have had the decency to tell Roy to his face
