'Rules must be respected!' - Aston Villa chief slams Roy Keane for 'convenient' narrative after controversial Manchester United late show
Aston Villa director of football operations Damian Vidagany has launched a scathing rebuttal against Roy Keane following the club's dramatic 4-4 draw with Manchester United. The Villa chief was left furious after a late equaliser was allowed to stand despite claims of a foul on goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
Aston Villa's chief Damian Vidagany has harshly criticized former Manchester United captain Roy Keane following the dramatic 4-4 draw between the two Premier League clubs. Keane dismissed claims of a foul on Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki in the closing moments, stating that the Japanese international needed to dominate his penalty area rather than complain about physical interference.
Vidagany responded to Keane's comments on X, emphasizing that the club's pre-season directives prohibit pushing the goalkeeper on purpose in the six-yard box. Villa secured a memorable draw through goals from John McGinn, Leon Goretzka, Joshua Zirkzee, and Patrick Dorgu. New United manager Unai Emery acknowledged the physical nature of English football but stressed the need for his goalkeeper to adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
