Roy Keane Publicly Criticizes Cristiano Ronaldo

Not long ago, Roy Keane has always been known for speaking his mind, whether on or off the pitch. Recently, the former Manchester United captain stirred up fresh debate by revealing what he claims was the real reason behind his exit from Old Trafford—not the long-rumored fallout with teammates, but a disagreement over a £5,000 fine. His honesty and fiery character still resonate with fans who follow football as closely as they track every BD Cricket Match, analyzing every decision, call, and conflict with passion.

“In truth, I left Manchester United because I appealed a £5,000 fine,” Keane said. “If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have left. Don’t buy into the rumors.” The fine, reportedly handed down for speaking out during a post-match interview, didn’t sit well with Keane. “If I was fined for being late to training, fine—I can live with that. But am I guilty of stepping out of line? Damn right, I was.”

Throughout his career at United, Keane estimates he paid about £500,000 in fines, mostly due to on-field incidents and red cards—none of which he contested. Ironically, it was this minor disciplinary action and his refusal to back down that marked the end of his time with the club. “What’s really frustrating,” he added, “is that I asked them to air the interview video, but they told me it was destroyed. How can you just destroy something like that?”

Keane maintains that he walked away from United with his head held high, believing he had always acted in the club’s best interest. “I spoke out because I thought we needed to be better as a team. I didn’t deserve to be punished for saying the truth.”

His comments also revisited the infamous moment after Manchester United’s 1–4 loss to Middlesbrough, when he publicly criticized teammates including Cristiano Ronaldo and Darren Fletcher. While many fans believed it was this harsh critique that led to Sir Alex Ferguson cutting ties with him, Keane now insists the fine and his appeal were the actual tipping point.

For loyal United supporters and lovers of intense sporting drama—be it a football feud or a high-stakes BD Cricket Match—Keane’s story is a reminder of how quickly internal tensions can change a career. Sometimes, the smallest spark can ignite the biggest fire.
