Ex-Man United captain Roy Keane has revealed which player stood up to him during an argument

Roy Keane has revealed which player stood up to him during his time as a coach.

Throughout his career, Keane built up a reputation for his no-nonsense approach on and off the pitch.

Ahead of Manchester United’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, Keane revealed the arguments he had with Everton full-back Seamus Coleman when he was working with the Irish national team.

He said on Sky Sports: “I've had a few rows with Seamus, I know you'll find that hard to believe. What I like about players. If I have a go at them and said they should be doing something.

“Seamus has had a go back at me once, he obviously regretted it, but he had a go back.”

Keane added: “But I like that, people talk about characters, he’s a great lad doesn’t mean to say he’s not a winner.

“You don’t play at that level with the injuries he’s had unless you’re a fighter.”

Keane also spoke about the players that have been struggling for United this season.

He said: “We don't know the characters or what the feel of this dressing room is. We look around, we've got players here who have won big trophies. They've won World Cups.

“I don't know what the dynamics are like in the dressing room, but you just hope that when they have come to United that they've enjoyed the pressure of playing for Man United. We've been critical of United the last few years, recruitment, the facilities.”

Keane added: “But we've come here early this morning. It's still a great place to come and play football. It really is. I just hope there are enough characters and leadership to get United back to winning ways. It's a long way back.

“Sometimes there are players that come to Man United, as we've seen, and it looks like the pressure of playing for Man United has been a bit too much for them.”
