Keane defends right to criticise United

Roy Keane, the former Manchester United captain, has defended his right to criticise his old club after being taken to task by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Keane provoked Ferguson's ire when working as a pundit for ITV he said he felt United had "got what they deserved" when they were knocked out of the Champions League this month by FC Basel.

That comment did not go down well with Ferguson who questioned Keane's own managerial record.
