(CNN) -- The release of Alex Ferguson's autobiography was always likely to ruffle a few feathers, with the recently retired Manchester United manager aiming barbs at a number of his high profile former stars.Originally Posted by bigmarco
Yeah he did look a bit uneasy with some of the questions. I loathed Keane as well but I have to agree with the pikey on this occassion when he says Fergie has shown no loyalty to some players who served him well.
Ferguson's latest book is a follow on from his first memoir, entitled "Managing My Life", which was released in 1999.
Keane has questioned why, in both books, Ferguson felt it necessary to criticize many of the players who helped him win 38 trophies during his time at Manchester United.
Other players likely to be irked by what they read in Ferguson's new book are current United star Wayne Rooney -- "not the quickest learner" according to his former manager -- and David Beckham, who he claims was distracted by his fame away from the football pitch.
"I'm not sure how many books he's written now, but you have to draw the line eventually and say 'Listen, these players have all been top servants to Man United and a lot of these players helped the manager win lots of trophies,'" added Keane.
"Can you imagine if we had never won a trophy what he would have said? We brought success to the club, we gave it everything we had when we were there.
"It's just part of modern life now, people like to do books and criticize their ex players."
The good news for mankind is that in another interview with Channel 4 News, Ferguson promised he wouldn't be writing any more books about his time at United.
For that we can all celebrate
