BATTLE OF THE LEGENDS: Crerand blasts Keane over Nani comments

Paddy Crerand has blasted fellow Manchester United legend Roy Keane for saying Nani deserved his red card in defeat to Real Madrid.

Keane, working as a TV pundit, backed Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir and said he was RIGHT to give the Portuguese winger his marching orders for a high boot.

But Crerand, a European Cup winner with United in 1968, said: "Not one person said it was a red card except Roy. He was in a minority of one.

"Nobody else agrees with him.

"Why do we not talk about the 99.9 per cent of people who said it wasn't a sending off?

"Why are we talking about Roy Keane - because he played for Manchester United?

"Well, let me tell you something, I played with Manchester United, I played in a European Cup final, Roy did not. The ref was wrong."
