Keane questioned our no.8’s leadership qualities in comments made on the Stick to Football podcast, published the day after United’s 3-2 win over Ipswich Town, when all three goals came from Fernandes set-pieces.
But the boss – who as a former central midfielder himself is a big fan of Keane - was keen to highlight the manner in which Bruno shoulders the burden for United.
He added that any frustration shown by the Portugal international on the pitch emanates from the results we’ve been experiencing.
“I heard about that [podcast]. I have a different opinion,” Ruben said.
