Keane raves about Man City boss Guardiola: Up there with the greatest

Manchester United legend Roy Keane raved over Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's genius.

Keane, who is famous for his outspoken views as a pundit, gave credit to United's bitter rivals for winning three straight Premier League titles.

Guardiola's team were already crowned champions when Arsenal lost to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, before beating Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday.

“He's up there with the greatest (Guardiola). He's worked with talented players but you still have to manage them. He keeps that hunger," he told Sky Sports.

“He looks after himself. He looks a healthy man. He's the most important man at this club.

“The recruitment, the way he's moved players on. He's kept that hunger and he's challenged himself, he's clearly got brilliant players, he upset [Kyle] Walker, [Kevin] de Bruyne, [John] Stones, and he got rid of [Joao] Cancelo.

“He knows what he's doing and he's done it consistently."
