Arsenal fans have been reacting to comments made by Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane before Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Monday.
The former Red Devils’ midfielder admitted that there were talks of Arsenal legend Patrick Viera joining up with Keane at United, who went on to claim that the Frenchman would have had to settle as a squad player.
Keane, who had a well-documented rivalry with Viera, played 464 times for the Red Devils and scored 50 goals during a tenure that spanned over 13 years.
“There was talk about Patrick, but I don’t think [Patrick] would have got in the United team. He would have been a squad player”, said Keane. “I don’t think he would have been satisfied with that”.
“He would have had to be a squad player and I don’t think he’d have been satisfied with that!”

Says the man who walked out on @FAIreland ?? before the 2002 @FIFAWorldCup.
Vieira won the @FIFAWorldCup with France ?? in 1998.
He did what Keane NEVER did – winning the biggest honour of the game.
Yeah, keep on taking the funny meds, Roy.
Ridiculous. ??????#MANARS
