Roy Keane compares Bruno Fernandes to a donkey: it's a circus | OneFootball

The war of words between Bruno Fernandes and Roy Keane seems to be ongoing. This Sunday, the Portuguese international reached the mark of 21 assists in the Premier League, thereby surpassing the record previously set by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.

In a match that no longer had any impact on the league standings, Manchester United traveled to Brighton, where they won 3-0. So, as had already been established before kick-off, the Manchester side already knew they would finish the season in third place.

However, red devils legend Roy Keane said he did not like seeing that the team and the captain were more concerned with the midfielder’s individual record than with winning and lifting trophies, based on incorrect statements attributed to the player. “It’s a circus! How can a footballer’s mentality be to go into a game talking about individual records?”, he asked.

Following those remarks, the former Sporting player responded by calling the ex-footballer a “liar,” revealing that he asked former manager Solskjaer for Keane’s number so he could try to speak to him about the matter. “I don’t mind criticism, but I don’t like people lying about what I say. This goes a bit beyond what I consider acceptable”, he explained.

As a result, this Monday, the saga took a new twist, with Roy Keane turning to social media to respond to Bruno Fernandes, comparing him to a donkey. Indirectly and without naming him, he wrote: “Too much attention makes a donkey think it is a lion”, as can be read on his Instagram account.
