Fergie tells Keane keep criticism in-house

ALEX FERGUSON has warned Roy Keane and everyone else at Manchester United he will not tolerate public criticism of his players.

Ferguson was involved in the executive decision to prevent Keane's sensational assessment of last weekend's humiliating defeat at Middlesbrough hitting the MUTV airwaves on Monday.

Ferguson has often backed his captain when Keane has condemned the Red Devils in general fashion and also stood by the 34-year-old when he attacked the attitude of younger members of his squad 12 months ago.
