What a difference one game of football can make. Manchester United impressed hugely during their 2-1 win over rivals Liverpool on Monday night - so much so that even Roy Keane had to soften his stance.
Over 15 years on from calling time on his glittering playing career, the ex-Red Devils captain is as hard-nosed as a pundit as he was in the engine room. However, when the situation commands, he can also dish out praise.
Following planned anti-Glazer protests before the Monday night showdown, the mood changed somewhat during 90 pulsating minutes and Keane was forced into a U-turn on United's players. His post-match comments were a far cry from what he said about, largely, the same group back in March, reports the Manchester Evening News.
