Fergie dismisses Keane rumours

Alex Ferguson has dismissed claims he axed Roy Keane from Manchester United’s Far East tour for disciplinary reasons.

Rumours of a row between Ferguson and Keane at United’s training camp in Portugal three weeks ago have surfaced, with subsequent speculation that it was the major reason for the Red Devils skipper missing Ferguson’s 24-man party, rather than the hamstring injury he is said to be suffering from.
