It was typical Roy Keane: blunt, perhaps a little unrealistic, and demanding of only the very best, regardless of what it takes to get it.
Speaking in his role as a Sky Sports pundit following Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, the club's former captain suggested that the solution to their goal-scoring problems would be to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham. "Just go and get Kane from Spurs," he said. "Easy. They [Spurs] are in disarray. Go get him."
Keane then appeared incredulous when his studio colleagues -- Gary Neville, Graeme Souness and Jose Mourinho -- looked at him in silence.
