Keane dismisses wage factor for Man Utd flop Alexis

Manchester United great Roy Keane insists he has no problem with the mega wages of Alexis Sanchez.

Alexis is on £500,000-a-week and currently on-loan with Inter Milan.

"I don't know why anyone would ever be worried at what players are getting. The first thing you mention to me is his wages. What's his wages got to do with me and you?" Keane said after Sanchez's wages were brought up during an interview with the the Irish Independent.

"Other people are overpaid. In the media. Actors have a bad movie and they make 20 million dollars but I don't hear people criticise them. 'Oh, but they made a good one two years ago.'

"The bottom line is the club gave him the wages; the club agreed the contract and a contract is there to be honoured. He's having a difficult spell.

"A lot of players will have difficult spells. But I certainly wouldn't look at a player who is on X amount and get angry."
