Roy Keane lost his cool as he exploded on Ian Wright with a furious X-rated rant about Bruno Fernandes.

In the latest episode of Stick to Football - brought to you by Sky Bet, Keane and Wright joined Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott to discuss the key talking points of last weekend's Premier League action.

Fernandes' impact as Man United captain was brought up as former Red Devils skipper Keane pulled no punches as he clashed with Wright in his most heated punditry moment ever.

Keane slammed his old side's reaction to their 2-2 draw at Everton and described Fernandes as a 'f**king imposter', which Wright refuted, jumping to the Portuguese's' defence.

Wright referenced Fernandes' strike against Everton, stating he has been 'saving' Man United this season.

Keane fired back as he mentioned where Man United currently sit in the Premier League table.

"Bruno's a talented player, but talent is not enough," he exclaimed. "Talent is not enough, Wrighty!"

Keane then name-dropped ex-Arsenal captain Tony Adams, claiming he was a 'fighter' unlike Fernandes.

He added: "You've got young players in the dressing room... you have to look at somebody and go; 'I like what he does'.

"But you want someone's going 'lads are you with me?'"

Wright continued to defend Fernandes, arguing: "But maybe he's not that captain... but what he's doing in respects of... saving you, playing that pass, the goal.

"If Bruno's not there.. United are in the relegation places!"

Keane and Wright continued to bicker before the Irishman left his seat to demonstrate closing down.

"Let me tell you something, when you close somebody down... when I call a bluffer... this is what I call a bluffer... I'm closing you down but I'm not really closing you down and then you pass it... f**k off!"



This season, Fernandes has made 38 appearances and scored 10 goals across all competitions.

Like Wright alluded to, he's often been Man United's saviour.

But Keane isn't convinced with the 30-year-old's influence.
