He did not hold back.

Back in 2014, Keane labelled an interview and performance from the former United player as flat after a 2-0 loss to Olympiacos, which provoked his spouse Lisa into hitting back on Twitter.

She wrote: "Roy Keane what a **** says anything to provoke a reaction... That's all... Done."

Keane had not forgotten the comments over ten years later and last week said: "Well his wife can always come in, because she's got a bit of a big mouth sometimes.

"Wow what? She's probably doing the team talk."

Keane's comments sparked criticism, with many calling him out for holding such a long grudge.

Now it is the turn of Eamon Dunphy - a frequent defender of the Ireland legend over the years - to have his say.

In his column with the Irish Mirror, he eviscerated the former United and Ireland captain: "Roy Keane greeted Michael Carrick’s moment by having a go at Carrick’s wife, Lisa. Keane is becoming an embarrassment — to football, to himself, and perhaps to Ireland.

"But it is not right — ever — to attack a woman in a high-profile situation like this. It is cheap. It is lazy. I feel ashamed for football, and for Ireland.

"Keane, meanwhile, is doing adverts where he insults people for money, becoming a parody of the figure he once was."
