'I hope he gets this mentality and desire into our squad' - Ex-Nottingham Forest star loved Roy Keane's passion on Sky Sports

Nottingham Forest assistant manager Roy Keane had everyone talking last night after his passionate rants and comical moments during Sky Sports coverage of the Manchester derby.

The ex-Reds midfielder Nottingham Forest assistant boss Roy Keane does not hold back with comments on Manchester United after their sixth defeat in eight games in all competitions gave rivals Manchester City a helping hand towards back-to-back Premier League titles.

David Johnson, a former teammate of Keane at Manchester United, is a man who has been in his fair share of successful dressing rooms down the years.

The 42-year-old scored 50 goals for Forest, 29 of which came in a single season.

And he was amongst the many Reds fans impressed by Keane's words on Sky Sports last night.

"I love listening to Roy Keane as a pundit," he tweeted.

"I will be very interested in next season at NFFC to see if he can get rid of the bluffers.

Roy Keane responds to question about leaving Nottingham Forest for Manchester United 

"Then transfer that mentality of desire and work ethic he demanded from himself into the players. Day in, day out consistency."

Others were not so inspired, asking questions of his own managerial track record, particularly as an assistant at Aston Villa and Forest.
