Roy Keane has explained why he didn't speak to one of his Manchester United teammates for a whole year after a disagreement.
Ex-United man Roy Keane is widely regarded as one of football's top hard men, both for his actions on and off the pitch.
The no-nonsense midfielder was never one to shirk a tackle, earning him a reputation as one of the Premier League's dirtiest players.

The former Republic of Ireland international had his fair share of run-ins with fellow players, including a long-time feud with Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira and an infamous brutal tackle on Erling Haaland's dad, Alf-Inge Haaland.
Now, Keane has revealed that it wasn't just his opponents that experienced his wrath.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast - brought to you by Sky Bet - Keane admitted that he once had argument with United teammate Gary Pallister that resulted in the pair not speaking to each other for a whole year.

"Me and 'Palli' [Gary Pallister] didn’t speak for about 12 months [he left too early during a night out]. You just have these disagreements [as players]," Keane said.
"Palli’s a good guy – I fell out with 'Giggsy' [Ryan Giggs], he wouldn’t do a function one time at the club – I was fuming with him. Me and 'Giggsy' didn’t speak for five or six months!"

Keane went on to explain why he was so annoyed by Giggs' behaviour.

"You know [as a player] when you have to do something for your club – nobody wants to do anything at the club. I was like, 'Giggs you have to do what [the club] wants, we’ve all done it and it’s just your turn next'.
"Giggs was obviously good with stuff like that [doing functions] – it was just that day which I don’t mind, he went, 'I’m not doing it', and I was just irritated by him – simple as that and we dragged it on for a few months."
