Cristiano Ronaldo told Roy Keane wouldn't have put up with his antics at Manchester United

Paul Ince has told Cristiano Ronaldo that both him and Roy Keane would have never put up with his antics at Manchester United.

The Portuguese superstar is reportedly pushing for an move out of Old Trafford and was benched for United's 2-1 win over Liverpool last Monday night.

And Ince says that himself and Keane would never have put up with such behaviour.

“Roy Keane and I would have never put up with Cristiano Ronaldo’s antics,” he told BoyleSports Premier League.

“Cristiano Ronaldo has to leave Man United. If he was in the Man United dressing room when I was playing with the likes of Roy Keane and Steve Bruce, we wouldn't be putting up with him and he wouldn't be getting away with anything.

“Leaving Ronaldo out of the starting 11 was so important because it shows people that there can be life without Ronaldo. He's been a distraction for everyone at Man United. He hasn't had the desired effect that everyone thought he would and you wouldn't see Lionel Messi acting the way he has at times.”

Ince added that he believes Casemiro is a good signing for United - but doesn't think the midfielder is worth £60million.

He said: “Casemiro is not worth £60million - but he’s a good signing.

“It's great that Man United signed Casemiro, but it's a lot of money at his age and I think sometimes clubs are taking the mick out of Man United because they know that the Red Devils need players so the price goes up.

“£60m on a four-year-deal for a 30-year-old is a lot of money but it shows where Man United are at now because they're having to pay over the odds to get players in.”
