New Celtic midfielder Roy Keane has stood by his criticism of his former
Manchester United team-mates over their 4-1 defeat by Middlesbrough in October.
He reportedly slammed United players in an interview with MUTV, which was
never broadcast, and the outburst seemingly led to his departure from the club.
But Keane said: "If you are going to analyse a 4-1 defeat, then analyse it.
"I watched a recording of the programme with the United players and they were
all in agreement with what I said."
Keane added: "Lots of stuff was said when I left United but I did not have a
problem with the players.
"If you ask any player I have played with from my schooldays through to
Nottingham Forest and United, they will all say something decent about me."
The former Republic of Ireland international, 34, also maintained he would not shy away from letting his new team-mates at Celtic know what he thinks of them.
He said: "At Celtic, I'll settle in for the first few weeks and see how the
lads operate.
"You know, find out the players who like a laugh and a joke, the quiet ones.
After that, I will speak my mind.
"Players appreciate that in the long run.
"It is better to say things face to face than behind a person's back. Players
might not like me for it, but they will respect me."
