Fans think Roy Keane hates one Man United player for no reason whatsoever and it’s clearly personal

Manchester United fans on social media are not happy with their former captain.

Fans are convinced that Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane has a personal vendetta against one Manchester United player for no reason.

On Sunday afternoon, United shocked the Premier League after taking the lead against Arsenal at Old Trafford heading into half-time.

A free kick late in the half was spectacularly put away by captain Bruno Fernandes, taking his goal tally in the English top flight up to seven this season.

But after watching club legend Keane assessing the match at half-time, United fans are convinced the former captain hates one player in the current squad.

As United continue to drift towards what will almost certainly be their worst season since the formation of the Premier League in 1992, Keane has been highly critical of Fernandes.

And, although he praised Fernandes for his goal on Sunday, fans think that Keane's attitude during his assessment of the match so far showed his true feelings towards the United captain.

Speaking at half-time, Keane said: “Captain fantastic! I've never doubted his quality but thought he could do more for the team. What a strike, the power, the technique. I think the pace of it has surprised the goalkeeper.

“An amazing strike. “We’d obviously question the goalkeeper, the wall. But what a strike."

Reacting to the comments, one fan wrote: "Roy Keane resents Bruno Fernandes for some bizarre reason."

While another added: "What more can he do, is it until he stands in Goal and save balls?"

One suggested: "Roy was in his feelings, Bruno genuinely epitomises what it means to be a captain not just on the pitch but off it as well."

And one pointed out: "To think Bruno Fernandes is the guy that Roy Keane wanted to pick on out of all people, time and time again he shows up."

Across all competitions, the the Portuguese midfielder now boasts 12 goals and 13 assists across 42 appearances.

With United's struggles up front this season, that puts Fernandes on top for both stats so far this season.

Despite this, Keane has suggested that the 30-year-old be stripped of the United captaincy, describing him as a 'f**king imposter' on the Overlap last month.

Fernandes' goal was cancelled out in the second half by Declan Rice, who scored a similarly fine strike in the same goal to level matters.

The two sides could not convert chances late on and had to settle for a point, which leaves Arsenal 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

United, meanwhile, are up to 14th but could end the matchweek in 15th if West Ham beat Newcastle on Monday night.
