Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan enjoys working with coach Roy Keane. Guzan admits the Manchester United legend is as passionate as ever.
"Obviously he's a passionate guy who wants to win so for the past couple of months now, working with him at Villa, he brings that intensity, brings that passion to training and into matches and that's what you want within a training ground."
Guzan has certainly impressed his assistant manager at club level, so much so that Keane described the American as a "real man" and one of the few "personalities" left in the game.
"Yeah! I mean, listen, football is a man's game, you have to be able to take the good with the bad and the bad with the good," he continued.
"I've always said I'm very fortunate to be in the position I'm at, coming from America, starting in MLS and now being able to play in the Premier League, week in and week out.
"I'm very lucky and you don't take any of that for granted. Today is another example of that, being able to represent your country is a honour.
"So it's always nice when you hear kind words but at the same time you're always looking to get better and improve, and to help your team."
