Roy Keane's Mum has blasted former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson for criticising her son in his new book. Ferguson took aim at the United legend in his autobiography, which is on sale today.
Marie Keane told the Irish Sun: "God almighty, I can't believe Sir Alex would say such things about Roy. I just can't believe it. I would never have thought he would do something like this."
Keane's mother said that when she and Keane's father were ill, Ferguson would send flowers and fruit, and insisted he was always friendly towards Roy and saw no feuds between them.
"He's our son and he has a wife and children and it is not nice for any of us to be hearing someone run a loved one down like that."
