But he doesn't, he expects players to put effort in. Like he was supposed to have criticised O'Shea cause at times he was strolling back rather than busting a gut.
Hes criticised players in the past, but this time he named them which probably was a step too far. I think his drive to win is at fault here, he knew he had little time left at Man Utd to win the european cup again - as he has said he doesn't feel like he has won it, even though without keane utd wouldn't have been in the final. Its probably a case of his heart overruling his head.
