A seething Sir Alex Ferguson lashed out at former captain Roy Keane after seeing his side consigned to a humiliating Champions League group-stage exit by Basel on Wednesday.United’s 2-1 defeat at St Jakob-Park meant they fell at the group phase for the first time in six years and prompted criticism from Keane, analysing the match for ITV, who said that United had “got what they deserved”. His remarks drew a stinking rebuke from Ferguson, who was quick to point his finger at Keane’s own less than stellar managerial career. “I don’t know why you bring up a TV critic,” said Ferguson during a terse post-match press conference. “That’s nothing to do with it. Roy had an opportunity to prove himself as a manager too. It’s not an easy job. We’ve got young players.” Ferguson was also unable to hide his displeasure at the prospect of a Europa League campaign, despite it raising the possibility of a clash with Manchester City, who also went out of the Champions League on Wednesday.
