Sir Alex Ferguson critically commented on Roy Keane's chances of becoming the head coach. Although he had previously supported the team captain's ambitions more than once, the coach from Scotland was very upset by Roy Keane's comments about the performance of his teammates in the match against Middlesbrough.

"I have seen countless young coaches, people would say that this one will coach the England national team, or at least work for this club. Two, three years go by and it doesn't happen," explained A. Ferguson. - "It's definitely not a friendly place - only the strongest remain here, so I don't dare predict anything."

34-year-old R. Keane's contract will end in the summer and his future is still unclear, but the remarks of the "Red Devils" captain on MUTV caused a real storm in the club.

Sir Alex Ferguson has never publicly criticized his players, so he was particularly saddened by Roy Keane's statement, which, although not shown on live television, leaked to the press. The coach insisted that he will have no influence on the appointment of his future successor.

"When I retire, it won't be me deciding who will become the new head coach. It doesn't matter at all what I think about it, or what people say," summed up A. Ferguson.
