Keane blasts Aston Villa captain Grealish: Why are you laughing?

Irish legend Roy Keane has hit out at Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish for yesterday's 0-0 draw with Sheffield United.

Keane wasn't happy with Villa's attitude.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said: "They need a bit more intensity. And I know it's the first game in three months and it will be difficult for the players to get their sharpness back. I was always told it would take six or seven games for me to get up to speed, so that's a difficult situation for the players.

"But you have to try and create something. And for Villa the other night, I got the impression they felt a draw wasn't the end of the world.

"Every time I looked at Grealish he was laughing. Listen do you know what's at stake here? And perhaps because the supporters weren't there they felt the result didn't matter. Of course it matters, your career is at stake here."
