Roy Keane went on an all-timer of a rant on this week's 'Stick To Football' over Manchester United's slump to 14th in the Premier League table, with Bruno Fernandes in the firing line.
The topic of Bruno Fernandes and his performances as Manchester United captain really got Keane going as he rowed with Arsenal legend Ian Wright over the midfielder's leadership qualities.
Wright consistently stood up for the Portuguese but Keane wasn't having it, pointing to Wright's former Arsenal captain Tony Adams as the type of leader football clubs need.
Wright responded to Keane saying that Fernandes is the one player who is 'saving' Man United but Keane expects more from him, saying that 'talent isn't enough.'
"They draw at Everton, it's like they won the cup. It's f*cking bizarre," Keane said.
"I see fans at matches and they're singing for Bruno and I see these boys and I'm thinking 'you're f*cking imposters.'"
"Wrighty. No, no, no. Do you know what Wrighty, I've had enough of that rubbish man.
"No come on Roy."
"Talent's not enough to play for a big club!" 😡

"No bro, not Bruno," replied Wright.
"Who brought them back into the game? Who's bringing you back? Bruno is somebody who can actually do something to save you lot."
"We watched them in the FA Cup a few weeks ago," said Keane.
"I watched them at Everton on Saturday. People pretend to be closing people down."
"Save us, they're 15th in the league, and he's saving them? Praise the lord. Bruno is a talented player but talent is not enough. What's he saving? 2-2 at Everton."
Wright said Man United would be in the relegation places if it wasn't for Fernandes' contribution but Keane says any criticism of United must begin with their captain, sparking an explosive back and forth between the pair.
"If Bruno's not there, United are in the relegation places. It's not all on Bruno," said Wright.
"You sit here every week going Tony Adams was amazing. That's the captain we expect," responded Keane.
"Where do you start then? If we start on a young lad, you can't start on him he's young," added Keane. You can't start on a foreign player, he's new to the league. Maguire the other day, he couldn't even jump.
"Forget the board and all that for a second. The players will walk on the pitch, so who do you start pointing fingers at? At some stage, players have to look at themselves in the mirror. Listen you're 15th, 16th in the league."
"You say who am I starting with, well I'm not starting with Bruno," said Wright.
"Of course you're not, who are you starting with then? The goalkeeper? Would you have a go at Maguire or are you too pally with people?
"I'm not pally with anyone," said Wright."
"I'm not saying you were, I'm just putting it out there," replied Keane.
"Talent's not enough to play for a big club!" 😡

Keane then got out of his seat to recreate the pressing of Manchester United' players during games.
"I've done my bit. F*ck off," he said.
