Manchester United legend Roy Keane has revealed for the first time that he was angry with the club when they allowed him to leave. Keane revealed that he was promised certain things at United by David Gill after 13 years at the club; which Keane still feels let down by.
"The day I left United, in hindsight, I should have stopped playing really" Keane said in an interview with the Irish Times.
"I lost the love of the game that Friday morning. I thought football is cruel, life is cruel. It takes two to tango also. I am fully responsible for my own actions but some things are wrong.
"I left on a Friday and they told me certain things before I left that day. I was told the following week I couldn't sign for another club. I had been led to believe I could. There were certain things I was told at certain meetings that were basic lies.
"That was part of the exit plans, I am convinced. Especially with my pride, I wasn't going to accept that. They had a statement prepared and they were thanking me for 11 and a half years of service.
"I had to remind David Gill I had been there 12 and a half years. I think that might have been part of the plan."
