Man Utd legend Robson blasts Keane over tell-all book

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has hit out at Aston Villa coach Roy Keane. In his book, 'The Second Half', Keane heavily criticises former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, and Robson claims Keane only released the book for the money.

He told Sky Sports: "Roy is just an example. There are a lot of people doing that, they come out and criticise people in their books.

"Is there any need especially when you are making a great living out of the sport anyway.

"I think with the players of today and the standard and the money they receive, I don't see why you write a controversial book and criticise people when you are only maybe doing it for the money.

"If you are doing a constructive book for the good of the game, which has given you a great career, then go and write a book, talk about your memories, your great times but these people who go and write just criticising people to be controversial, to sell more books and make more money, no I'm not for that."
