On June 29, according to the Daily Mail, Keane spoke about English center-back Harry Maguire.
Keane: “When it comes to Maguire, he had a tough time at Manchester United and wasn’t performing well for England either. I said some very harsh things; comments that crossed the line and affected his mental health. That’s not right, and we should be mindful of players’ wellbeing.”
“I’ve been through similar situations, so I know how difficult it can be. A few months ago, I met Maguire and apologized to him face to face. As a commentator, mistakes can be made, but when it turns into personal attacks, it goes too far.”
It’s worth mentioning that this story originated from 2021, after Manchester United’s 0-5 defeat to Liverpool. Then, Keane fiercely criticized Maguire: “Maguire lacked professionalism, his defending was non-existent, and he didn’t inspire any confidence. Maguire is a disgrace to Manchester United!”
