Roy Keane solicitor 'nearly fell off chair’ in 10-minute end to Man Utd career

Roy Keane 's tenure at Manchester United came to an abrupt end following a brief but explosive 10-minute meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson and then-CEO David Gill.

Keane has now shed light on the decisive meeting he had with Ferguson and Gill, alongside his solicitor, where it was made clear his services were no longer required - a decision he accepted without argument, reports the Mirror. "I'm not saying look after them, I'm saying how can we not sit down? I almost have to remind people, I couldn't go to anybody, I left October, November - came back from a broken foot which I broke at Anfield, couldn't go to another team - how a club can't sit down with somebody, and I've seen a lot of people leave on bad terms, and that's fine that's life.

"My solicitor, who did all my deals, was the most relaxed, placid man you'd ever meet a very good man and knew a good deal but he almost fell off his chair. Ferguson and Gill went 'We've come to the end and here's a statement'. I was like 'Alright' and he was like 'What?!'. I said 'Leave it Mike' and they went out and I said 'Yeah, I'm out of here', and he couldn't believe it all within 10 minutes.

"In hindsight, , "We've come to the end, yeah, but I've got a contract with Manchester United just like you do with United'. You're on about principles but when something like that is in front of me, I'm like disgusted with people, I go 'I wouldn't even want to see you again'.
