The dispute seems far from over as Roy Keane posts a fiery reply to Bruno Fernandes after the Manchester United captain was accused of focusing too much on assists rather than scoring goals.
On 26 May 2026, Roy Keane, the legendary Irish midfielder and former Manchester United star from the English Premier League, posted a sharp rebuttal to his Portuguese club teammate Bruno Fernandes over the latter's perceived obsession with chasing assist records.
Previously, Roy Keane had criticized Bruno Fernandes for being overly fixated on accumulating assists instead of scoring goals himself. Fernandes later responded by saying he accepts criticism but dislikes when people lie or twist his words, referring to his post-match remarks: “There may have been moments in this game where I should have passed instead of shooting. I’m very happy with my 21 assists, but above all, I’m happy with the wins and finishing the season well.”
Most recently, Roy Keane, who appears unwilling to let the matter rest, responded by posting an Instagram story image showing a donkey alongside two lions in the shadows, accompanied by a caption implying: “Too much attention has made the donkey think it is a lion.”
