'I didn't get their banter or what they stood for sometimes... personality-wise they were not for me': Roy Keane reveals he didn't warm to Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand during their time together at Manchester United

Roy Keane admitted that he never got on well with former Manchester United teammates Wayne Rooney or Rio Ferdinand as he never understood their 'banter'.
