Alex Ferguson has hailed Roy Keane as the best player he ever had at Manchester United.
The split between the pair which resulted in Keane leaving Old Trafford so abruptly has done nothing to lessen Ferguson’s admiration of a player whom he believes will be remembered as a Red Devils great decades from now.
Ferguson admits his glorious 20-year reign as United boss may have encompassed more talented individuals than Keane.
But the Irishman’s indomitable spirit, forceful personality and sheer will-to-win sets him apart from all the rest.
“Taking everything into consideration, Roy Keane is the best player I have ever had at this club,” said the United boss.“He was not as talented as Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, nowhere near it.
“But you come across these once-in-a-lifetime people who have this desire which comes from the heart.
“Roy’s obsession with winning and the demands he put on other players made him the most influential player in the dressing room and a great captain.
