Roy Keane was on the receiving side of a brutal trolling of James Maddison after the Europa League final.
United suffered a 1-0 defeat for their Premier League rivals Spurs in the all-English final in Bilbao on Wednesday evening thanks to its own goal from Luke Shaw.
Maddison, whom he missed a match due to injury, was in the clouds in the club and won his first trophy since the final 2007/08 League Cup.
But he used an interview with CBS Sports to focus an excavation on United Legend Keane, who criticized his lack of consistency earlier this season.
He said to Peter Semanichel: “I was not going to do interviews, but I heard that Roy Keane was in the studio tonight.”
The midfielder of England was then asked by Micah Richards to eliminate his characteristic darts party, to which he answered: “Oh, I will, with pleasure!
“Roy Keane, that's for you, son.”
Keane did not shy away from Maddison's post-match Jibe, doubled his criticism of the 28-year-old with a backhanded compliment.
The Irishman said, “I always said he was a good player, but he must be more consistent. And he played well tonight!”
Maddison attracted a complete kit for the medal and trophy celebration, even though he was not in the MatchDay team.
“They said I had to turn on the kit to get a medal!” He explained when he was asked to be in the kit. “I didn't want to do John Terry!
'What a special feeling. Make [the season] Everything well – the pain of not playing is unable to help the team.
“It is a brilliant achievement and a way to qualify for the Champions League, but it is more to win for the fans.
“They have had years of pain.”
The matte defeat against Spurs underlined the size of the work Ruben Amorim is in the hands of Old Trafford.
And the Portuguese sworn to leave the club for free if the brass of Red Devils does not believe that he is the right man for the job.
He said: “I have nothing to show to the fans, so at the moment it is a bit of trust [that is required].
“Let's take a look [on the future]. Like I said before, I'm always open.
“If the board and the fans have the feeling that I am not the right man, I will go without any conversation about compensation the next day.
“But I will not stop. I really have faith in my work and, as you see, I will not change anything in the way I do things.”
