Ex-Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has urged Manchester United to hire former Roy Keane as manager. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Roy Keane has what takes to reverse the Red Devils’ atrocious form in recent years because would not never tolerate poor standards at Old Trafford.
Jamie added that while he knows it’ll most likely never happen, it is the right thing for MUFC to do.
His words, “I’m amazed that no one has phoned Roy Keane and said, ‘Can you come in at Man Utd and be part of what we’re doing here?’ because he is arguably Man Utd’s greatest captain.
He is a leader. He’s unbelievable. When you watch him, he’s ferocious, you listen to him, when he walks into a dressing room, you’re going to listen.
He’s going to lead by example. He’s not going to allow poor standards. I can’t believe Manchester United have not phoned Roy Keane.
Maybe it’s because he can’t be the manager.
Maybe it’s because he’s too hot-headed, I don’t know. They want someone in with more tactical nous or whatever.
How Roy Keane isn’t in there at that football club, in the dressing room, in there every day at the training ground telling them this is the standard, this is what’s Man Utd, this is what we’ve built, this is how we do it… I cannot believe they’ve not done something like that.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
