Jon ​Walters fires back at Man Utd hero Keane: He's a bully

Jonathan Walters is not backing down in his row with Roy Keane.

The Manchester United legend had a go at Walters for crying about the death of his mother and brother in a television interview.

Keane referred to Walters as a "bluffer."

"I was never scared as a player. When you get bullies I always try to do the right thing and stick up to it," Walters told JOE about Keane.

"When I get asked something I just tell the truth. So that has got to him a little bit and he's had a little nibble back.

"I really don't know why people pay attention, why they get that worried off Roy.

"Because, yes he was a good player, an unbelievable player, known as a hard man on the pitch, but there is a difference between being a hard man on the pitch and being a tough guy.

"Just because someone has a sharp tongue or a stare, it doesn't make them a tough guy."
