Keane hits back at Fergie jibe

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has defended his right to criticise the club following their Champions League exit earlier this month.

Keane, working as a pundit for ITV, felt United had "got what they deserved" when they were knocked out by Basle, comments which did not go down well with Red Devils boss Alex Ferguson. The Scot questioned Keane's managerial record, saying "(Roy) had an opportunity to prove himself as a manager too. It is a difficult job" .
