Man Utd legend Roy Keane claims pictures involving former Premier League referee are edited

Roy Keane has recalled the time he chased former referee Andy D’Urso around Old Trafford.

With the game tied at 0-0, the Billericay-born official controversially gave the away side a penalty when United defender Jaap Stam collided with Brazilian forward Juninho.

After Gary Neville says his former teammate never put his hand on an official in an aggressive way, Keane responded: “I didn’t think it was that bad at the time, you think you’re just fighting your corner, and then you look and you go.

“I think some of them [the photos] were edited. No I swear, I swear on my children’s lives. I’m right up next to him, I didn’t think we were that close.

“Yeah of course I was [photoshopped]. And do you know who’s behind it? Ferguson!”

Keane went on to apologise for his actions at the time. “We went over the top,” he said. “Obviously we shouldn`t react like that. We regret it and it won’t happen again. I promise you that.

“Footballers are under a lot of pressures, but dealing with it is part of the job. It’s not right that we have a go at referees like that.

“As a captain I should be setting a better example. To go chasing the referee was wrong.

“We went over the top and the manager has had a word with us. At the time we thought nothing of it. We just thought it was a bad decision, and I`ve seen the incident on television and I still think the referee was wrong.”

He added: “But obviously we shouldn’t have reacted like that, although if he had stood still I don’t think we would have chased him. He kept running and we kept chasing.”
