Roy Keane has delivered a rant aiming at Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and the club’s shocking decline in the Premier League.

Speaking on this week’s Stick To Football, Keane clashed with Arsenal legend Ian Wright over Fernandes’ leadership qualities, questioning whether he is the right captain for United.

Wright defended the Portuguese midfielder, arguing that Fernandes is the one player “saving” Manchester United.

However, Keane wasn’t having any of it, insisting that “talent isn’t enough” and comparing Fernandes unfavorably to Wright’s former Arsenal captain, Tony Adams.

Keane: “They Draw at Everton Like They’ve Won the Cup!”

Keane, never one to hold back, mocked United’s celebrations after their recent 2-2 draw with Everton, calling it “f*cking bizarre.”

He also criticised fans who continue to Fernandes, labeling them as “imposters.”

“Wrighty. No, no, no. Do you know what Wrighty, I’ve had enough of that rubbish, man.”

Wright tried to reason with Keane, highlighting Fernandes’ contributions, but Keane remained adamant that any real criticism of Manchester United must begin with their captain.

“Bruno is a talented player but talent is not enough. What’s he saving? 2-2 at Everton?”

Wright maintained that United would be in the relegation zone without Fernandes, but Keane fired back, demanding higher standards.

Keane explained that leadership is about more than just talent and that the club should expect more from their captain.

“If we start on a young lad, you can’t start on him, he’s young. You can’t start on a foreign player, he’s new to the league. Maguire the other day, he couldn’t even jump. So where do you start?”

At one point, Keane got out of his seat to physically demonstrate United’s lack of pressing, adding,“I’ve done my bit. F*ck off.”

United’s current struggles in the Premier League are undeniable, and Keane’s frustrations reflect those of many fans.

Whether Fernandes is truly to blame remains up for debate, but one thing is clear – Keane expects much more from United’s players, especially their captain.
