Roy Keane has hit out at England manager Gareth Southgate for apparent double standards in his passionate defence of Harry Maguire. The Manchester United captain was booed by England supporters ahead of their 3-0 victory against Ivory Coast on Tuesday night.
Ahead of kick-off, Maguire was jeered by some fans inside Wembley, which led to an angry backlash from his England teammates and manager Southgate. The Three Lions boss branded the boos as 'an absolute joke', though United legend Keane downplayed the incident and accused his former fellow pundit Southgate of hypocrisy.
"I think Gareth has made it a bigger story than what it is. Every player gets booed. There’s going to be idiots at football matches. England fans have got a lot of idiots," Keane said as part of his punditry on ITV.
