Roy Keane delivers brutal Chelsea put down as Thomas Tuchel's team held by Man United

Roy Keane is not a fan of Chelsea.

In fact, the former Manchester United midfielder never has been.

Chelsea and United have been big rivals over the years, particularly when Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho came up against one another.

Keane captained United during his 12-year spell at Old Trafford and his no-nonsense approach on the field has translated into similar in his punditry style, working for Sky Sports.

Keane was on duty for Super Sunday, of which the biggest draw on a busy day of Premier League action was Chelsea versus United at Stamford Bridge.

The two teams played out a disappointing goalless draw, which was not without controversy.

Ahead of the match, Keane had his say on the Blues and Chelsea fans would not have been surprised to hear his verdict on their team.

“I never liked Chelsea, there was nothing about Chelsea I liked," he admitted. "There were some good battles there. I remember Jimmy [Floyd-Hasselbaink, fellow pundit], you kicked me a few times."

Keane did have some kind words for Chelsea ace Mason Mount, however.

He added: " We’ve been praising this lad now for the last number of years, the way he plays the game, almost like Paul Scholes, plays like a kid on the street, it all comes very easy for him.

"Good first touch, seems an honest kid, he has a goal in him, he has an assist. There’s no surprise this lad is playing, when the manager came he would have had a look at him before but you get a better look when you work with the lads closely and again, no surprise that he’s going to go for this lad in most of the big games because he can trust him.

"He’s a top player and seems like a very good professional and an honest kid."
