Roy Keane reveals how Fernandes beef was quashed after ‘lovely’ chat

Ah that's nice.

Last month, Keane called out the Manchester United captain, believing that he was too focused on getting the Premier League single-season assist record over the needs of his team.

The Cork man said: "After the game, he was interviewed, and the captain of Manchester United said, ‘A few times, I probably should have… shot, but I made the passes'.

"Wow. How can your mindset be not to win the match but to focus on an individual record?"

However, Keane had completely misquoted the midfielder, who had actually said that he shot too much and should have passed more.

Fernandes then responded on an episode of The Diary Of A CEO podcast, revealing that he had actually tried to get in touch with Keane.

The Portuguese star also said: "What I don't like is when people lie about things. In this case what you said about Roy Keane, basically what he said is a lie."

Keane then shared the following message on Instagram: “Too much attention makes a donkey think he’s a lion.”

But now it appears that the feud is over, with Keane telling Ian Wright and Gary Neville that the two men talked it over in what was a "lovely chat."

"And we had a nice, mature conversation. It was lovely. A lovely chat.

"I like having boundaries with players. I don't want to be speaking to players every few weeks or their agents, I don't want to go down that road, but every now and then a player might reach out, so it was important I spoke to him.

"There has been lots going on and lots reported. He's obviously a big player for United, I'm an ex-United player and the idea of this communicating and having a proper conversation, I really enjoyed it. Hopefully he did as well.

"Nice chat about a bit of everything and I felt better afterwards."
