🚨Roy Keane on Manchester City signing Enzo Fernández for £125m:
“First it was Anderson for £130m, then Ayyoub Bouaddi for £100m. Now City are spending £125m on Enzo Fernández. Yet somehow, Manchester United are always the first club accused of ‘ruining the market’.
Let’s be honest: the media only seem to have a problem when United are involved. English clubs have been spending enormous money for years, but when United pay a big fee, suddenly it becomes a crisis.
These clubs are the reason the market has gone completely mad. You can barely sign an elite player for £100m anymore. And the frightening part? We’re not even living in the Ronaldo and Messi era anymore. If this continues, £100m will soon look like pocket change.”
A reminder of how David de Gea’s 12 years at Manchester United ended...
De Gea was prepared to take a huge pay cut to stay at Old Trafford, but negotiations collapsed and United ultimately decided to move on.
Weeks later, Erik ten Hag replaced him with André Onana for around €50m plus add-ons.
De Gea left without even getting a proper farewell at Old Trafford, despite departing with a club-record 190 clean sheets and having just won his SECOND Premier League Golden Glove.
12 years. 545 appearances. 190 clean sheets.
Whatever you thought about his final season, surely one of United’s greatest goalkeepers deserved a better goodbye. 💔
Nothing stops a true legend.
Despite ongoing health struggles, Sir Alex Ferguson returned to Old Trafford on Sunday, wearing an orthopaedic boot and leaning on a walking stick.
You could see the effort it took.. the careful steps, the quiet determination etched on his face. At 84, after a difficult few months that included a precautionary hospital visit before the Liverpool game in May, he still made the journey to the Theatre of Dreams.
Because this is more than a stadium to him. This is home. The place where he built an empire, turned boys into men, and created moments that still live in the hearts of millions of United fans worldwide.
He arrived ahead of the Ipswich match, the club’s first home game of the new season. Fans spotted him, and the cheers rose. Even in discomfort, the old warrior refused to stay away. Reports suggest the boot relates to an injury sustained months earlier, one he had largely kept private. Yet here he was... still showing up, still supporting the team he loves more than anything.
That is the Ferguson way. Never give in. Not in the dressing room. Not in the dugout. And not now, when the body is slower but the heart remains pure red.
For nearly 27 years he gave everything to Manchester United: thirteen Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, a mountain of silverware. More than that, he gave identity, standards, and a culture of relentless winning. Even after retirement, even after a life‑threatening brain haemorrhage in 2018 and personal losses, he has remained a constant presence... a living reminder of what this club can be.
Seeing him struggle yet still walk through those doors hits differently. It is not pity. It is respect. It is gratitude. It is the knowledge that true legends do not fade quietly. They keep turning up...for the badge, for the fans, for the love of the game that defined them.
United went on to win 5‑2 that afternoon. Somewhere in the stands, the man who once made the whole stadium feel unstoppable was watching. Boot on. Stick in hand. Heart still fully in it.
What a man. What a legend.
Sir Alex. ❤️🔴👑
