SkySports are reporting that Keane didn't fly to their far east trip because of a bust up with Fergie. Apparently this goes back a few weeks when Keane got p1ssed off at Fergie letting wives and families come to the training camp at the algarve. Seemingly Keane's 'hamstring injury' could be a cover up.

Keane may be past his best but is still an influential player for the scum. I wonder if this bust up would bring forward his transfer to Celtic (he's always said he wants to finish his career there). What a torrid time the scum are having these days, I'm loving it.

I don't know, Ballack has just said he's staying at Bayern for another season. United will NEVER replace Keane, he's still the heartbeat of their side at 33. That type of player is a dying breed and Fergie said so himself, he reckons Gerrard is the most similar to player to Keane in this era, and lets face it, they're never getting Stevie.

The very fact that this row took place proves that Ferguson is losing it and getting soft.

If a player criticised Ferguson in the way Keane did 5 or 6 years ago he would have been on his bike regardless of how important he was. Schmeichel had a go at Ferguson after Ferguson criticised him for a mistake in the dressing room and Schmeichel came very close to being given his marching orders.

Queiroz 'unaware' of Rio gesture to fans

Carlos Queiroz has claimed he is 'unaware' of an alleged abusive gesture by Rio Ferdinand towards Manchester United fans after last night's 2-1 defeat to Kashima Antlers.
Ferdinand, who was booed by a handful of Red Devils' supporters during the game, came under further attack after the final whistle, as fans voiced their anger at his refusal to sign a £100,000-a-week extension to his contract.

With his temper already boiling because of an on-pitch row with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand is reported to have made a `V' sign to the supporters abusing him.

Witnesses are adamant the incident happened, although as yet there have been no pictures published to back the claims.

'I am not aware of any incident between Rio and the fans,' said Queiroz.

Ferdinand was the subject of more widespread abuse during recent pre-season friendlies at Clyde and Peterborough, although he has received a more positive reception in the Far East.

The England defender may also find himself at the centre of an internal investigation following his spat with van Nistelrooy during the closing stages of last night's defeat at the National Stadium.

Without a goal on tour so far, van Nistelrooy's anger erupted when Ferdinand delayed a routine pass from the halfway line so long he was eventually tackled.

After gesticulating wildly at the time of the incident, van Nistelrooy carried on the argument after the final whistle, exchanging a volley of abuse with his team-mate.

The pair were all smiles as they trained together in Saitama this morning ahead of tomorrow's encounter with Urawa Red Diamonds, although Queiroz admitted the matter will be looked in to.

'We realised there was a dispute between two players on the pitch but at this moment, I know nothing further,' he said.

'If there is something, we will take action.'

It has also now emerged that United director Bryan Glazer was verbally attacked by supporters in the aftermath of Tuesday's victory over Beijing Hyundai.

Glazer, son of new owner Malcolm, has been following the Red Devils on tour but came under attack from critics who do not believe his father's £790million takeover is good for the Old Trafford outfit.

With chief executive David Gill looking on, Glazer pleaded with his irate opponents to 'give us a year' to prove they can improve United on and off the field.

The rows have overshadowed the final stages of a tour which forms the primary part of United's build-up to the new campaign, which begins with a Champions League qualifier on August 10.

Sir Alex Ferguson and his squad will learn their opponents later today, but the Scot has already ruled Wes Brown and Gabriel Heinze out of his plans.

Both men missed the current tour and with Brown still not fully recovered from his Achilles injury and Heinze behind in his training after being given an extended summer break, neither will come into contention.

New signing Park Ji-Sung will be available, even though he will definitely miss the Urawa clash.

The South Korean needed nine stitches inserting into a cut above his left eye following a clash with Kashima keeper Hitoshi Sogahata and although he also took part in a light training session in intense heat, the risk of him playing in a competitive match is too great for him to be considered.

'Park will not play tomorrow,' confirmed Queiroz.

'We have to give the stitches another 24 hours to ensure they will not break open after contact.

'If it was really necessary for him to play, he probably would have done but our focus at the moment is the Champions League qualifier, so there is no point taking a risk.'

What a time to be a Manure fan, couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of tw@ts.
