Roy Keane has left Manchester United by mutual consent, but is it the right decision for either the club or the player? What will it mean to United to lose their captain and what will Keane do now?

So another big name leaves the Reds after falling out with Fergie, this started with Stam and has included Beckham and all the time the supporters seem to back Fergie. Is it me, or has he been a truly great show, that's proving now that he's been on far, far too long?

Awww, bless, you really are upset aren't you? As for the 2lbs of McCains, how can a red (the 'queens' of chips on shoulders) say that? The poorest, most bitter and vitriolic ungracious losers known to man (Worse than Tonya Harding) say we have a chip on our shoulders. Mr. Keane was, however the cleverest of United players declaring correctly that United 'fans' go to the ground for a day trip and eat their prawn sandwiches. I bet you've never even been to see them have you? Are you even a manc?

I wish Keane all the best.

He's been THE United player of the 90's, first half of this decade. The guy had grit and wasn't afraid to speak his mind, all the hallmarks of United's greatest ever Captain (in my humble, of course).

Though his temper could be brought into question, the fact that he spoke his mind and never kow-towed to the board rank alongside his footballing abilities.

It's been a privilege watching Keane at United. However all good things must come to an end and I think his best days are behind him. All these knobs saying it's the end of Utd etc are talking through their backsideds, the same things were being said when we lost Hughes Catona etc. The fact is we will go on and maybe it will give other players to express themselves more....... wonder when Smith will kiss the badge!(ala Lampard-pass the bucket)

roy is a great player and will always be remembered.but for a guy who earns his wages and is always on the treatment table should learn to criticise his team mates the rightway.who needs keane when smith is already scoring roll on smithee

Ahh liddle citeh fans, all is not well in your Stockport suburbs it seems.

Fair enough Keano's challenge on Haaland was out of order, but it was his other dodgy peg that ended his career... and it's funny how many of your fans are getting excited about the (ridiculous) rumour that he might be joining you!

Best of luck Roy

KEANOOOOOO KEANOOOOOOO

Hes got a few years left in him yet and I must say he has nice legs which makes the game a whole lot more interesting... Hes a lose to man United but at the same time he was a credit to the team!

to the person that has left this message you are obviously an idiot and know nothing about football

Quoted from this message

An idot that knows nothing... okay personally i think this is a gender issue! because I am female you seem to think that we dont know about football... Well we do! Saying that he was a credit to the team and a lose is a fair comment to make! whats the issue with that? why does that make me an idoit?

United definately are missing Roy. He has been the biggest influence to the team over the past decade. he epitomises the hunger and fire for success that should be in every footballers heart. He plays like a fan would expect to play. It has never been about money for Keano, unlike some of his former team mates. This Irish man has true heart and loves the battle on the football pitch. If Roy were English he would be Knighted now. He doesn't have a fancy hair style nor does he seek publicity for everything he does. He is a born leader and United are rueing his absence right now. Neville is not a captain nor is Rio Ferdinand. Only roony comes anywhere near Keano's professionality. But he has a very very very long way to go to match the most perfect midfielder in the modern game.

Rooney? Midfielder? Erm....
