Manchester United legend Roy Keane has accused Sir Alex Ferguson of using the club to help his family.

Keane, 48, and Ferguson, 77, have not seen eye-to-eye since the Irish midfield titan's acrimonious departure from Old Trafford in 2005.

Keane told Off the Ball: "Ferguson came out afterwards and said he always did what was best by Manchester United. Nonsense.

"His son Darren played for the club and won a league medal, very lucky.

"His brother was the chief scout for Manchester United for a long time.

"I'm surprised his wife wasn't involved in the staff somewhere.

"Darren was [the manager] at Preston North End and lost his job.

"He had a couple of young players on loan from Manchester United. Guess what happens the next day?

"They're pulled out of Preston. Is that doing the best for Manchester United? Do me a favour."
