Keane HILARIOUSLY reacts to Solskjaer's praise of former Man Utd midfielder Fred

Roy Keane hilariously clashed with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the former Manchester United manager's praise of Fred.

The Brazilian midfielder made 213 appearances for the Red Devils between 2018 and 2023 after joining from Shakhtar Donetsk for £47million.

However, Fred was regularly criticised for his performances while at Old Trafford, but despite this Solskjaer continued to pick him, with the 31-year-old playing 59 out of 76 league games during the Norwegian's two full seasons at the club.

He became a key man, alongside Scott McTominay in midfield, with Solskjaer's preferred combination often mocked by fans and pundits.

And Solskjaer, speaking earlier this week on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet, reflected on several issues and moments from his tenure as United boss, including his preferred midfield picks.

'When you have Fred, Scott (McTominay), Nemanja (Matic) you have players you know they're going to give you seven or eight out of 10 every time,' he said.

'They're going to give you everything. That's the best feeling.'

However, Keane - who regularly lambasted Fred's performances on Sky Sports - interrupted Solskjaer and said: 'Fred? Fred? Seven or eight out of 10? I'm not sure about that?'

The Norwegian responded: 'Yep, Fred... I really liked him in midfield. We needed those legs in midfield.'

Keane then raised his eyebrows, and put his head in his hands, before he hilariously checked Solskjaer's drink to check he was OK.

The Irishman looked unimpressed as the Norwegian continued to defend Fred.

The Brazilian remained a regular under Erik ten Hag last season before he ended his five-year stint at Old Trafford in the summer when he moved to Fenerbahce.

Meanwhile, Solskjaer has been out of the dugout
