Keane appears to respond with post about donkey
Bruno Fernandes has accused Roy Keane of telling a “lie” about his pursuit of the Premier League assists record. Manchester United’s captain secured the outright record for assists in a season by taking his tally to 21 in Sunday’s 3-0 win at Brighton.
The 31-year-old had equalled the previous record, shared by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, a week earlier during United’s 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest. Keane suggested Fernandes was prioritising individual glory over the team’s interests, describing him as being at the centre of a “circus act”.
