A few hours before Manchester United took on Manchester City, Keane hit out at Fernandes for his response to criticism of his record against the ‘big six’. A few hours later, Keane’s rant had not aged well as Fernandes scored a penalty early on in a 2-0 win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. But recent developments suggest that, amongst all the noise, Keane did have a point in one aspect of the discussion with Micah Richards and Graeme Souness. But Keane warned Fernandes that in order to be a “great player” it is down to him to improve those around him rather than showing his frustration. He silenced Keane at the weekend but may still have some way to go to win him over and justify his reported contract stance.
