Roy Keane Takes Aim at Michael Carrick's Wife Following His Appointment as Manchester United's Interim Head Coach
Roy Keane has fired a shot at Michael Carrick's wife, referring to her as having a 'big mouth' after Carrick's appointment as Manchester United's new interim head coach. This comes as Carrick steps in to lead the Red Devils for the remainder of the season following Ruben Amorim's dismissal. Keane's comments re-ignite past tensions with Lisa Carrick, with whom he had a public feud back in 2014.

Roy Keane has aimed a savage dig at Michael Carrick's "big mouth" wife following his appointment as Manchester United's new interim head coach. Carrick has been charged with overseeing the Red Devils for the rest of the season after Ruben Amorim's sacking. And as the ex-Middlesbrough boss prepares for this new position, Keane risked re-igniting a feud with Carrick's wife, Lisa, with a brutal put-down. Keane and Lisa Carrick's feud went public in 2014 when the Irishman called out the United midfielder for an uninspiring performance and post-match interview.He said at the time, while on punditry duty, "That interview was just like the performance: flat. He [Carrick] should say a bit more, have a bit more urgency, even in the interview."She swiped back in a tweet that was later deleted, "Roy Keane, what a **** says anything to provoke a reaction."Less than two weeks after United sacked Amorim, Carrick has been handed the reins for the rest of the season. The ex-England international, who played 464 times for the Red Devils and won five Premier League titles and one Champions League crown, said it was a privilege to be handed this opportunity.He told the club's website: "Having the responsibility to lead Manchester United is an honour. I know what it takes to succeed here; my focus is now on helping the players to reach the standards that we expect at this incredible club, which we know that this group is more than capable of producing. I have worked with a number of the players already and have obviously continued to watch the team closely in recent years, I have total belief in their talents, dedication and ability to be successful here. There is still a lot to fight for this season, we are ready to pull everyone together and give the fans the performances that their loyal support deserves."The club's director of football, Jason Wilcox, believes that Carrick - who previously acted as caretaker manager in the 2021/22 season following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking - is the ideal man to lead the club forward in the coming months.He added, "Michael is an excellent coach and knows exactly what it takes to win at Manchester United. He is ready to lead our talented and determined group of players for the remainder of the season as we continue to build the club towards regular and sustained success."Looking for smarter football bets?
