"We talk about footballers and managers, not every player is going to get along with their manager and the manager is not going to like every player. But what you do as a footballer, and whatever disagreements I've had with one or two managers, when you cross that line, you play for the team. "I don't care what fall-out you've had with your manager, I don't care if you've been at each others' throats, because that is part of the industry... people do fall out, it happens in other industries. Unfortunately, when you're at Man United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, things will get exaggerated. "But if you're a footballer for Man United and you put that jersey on and walk out and don't give 100% because you might be upset with somebody, then good luck to Mourinho in this job."https://twitter.com/Notts_TV/status/1047495261315063808 Roy Keane continued, "Players who get upset with the manager or coaching staff and think 'I'm not going to train properly because somebody upset me'... there's a lot of cry-babies out there.
"When you walk out on that pitch, you're playing for your pride, you're playing for your family, your city, whatever it might be. Don't get that worried about what the manager's said about you or the coaching staff. "You can fall out after the match, but when the game's going on... liven up! Play with pride, play with energy, play with spirit and hopefully play with a bit of skill. "You can't always play with the skill, you can have a bad day, but on your bad days you roll your sleeves up and you fight for that jersey and don't get distracted by the balloons out there."His delivery of 'balloons' at the end of the clip (above) is well worth a watch. The interview comes at a time when Ireland manager Martin O'Neill is set to announce his latest squad for upcoming international fixtures. Arter is not expected to be part of that squad.
