Irishman fell out with Lisa Carrick after 2014 criticism
‘It is the way of the world,’ says new interim head coach
Michael Carrick has shrugged off Roy Keane’s jibe regarding his wife “probably doing the team talk” at Manchester United by claiming it does not bother him.
Keane made the comment about Lisa Carrick after the 44-year-old’s appointment as United head coach until the end of the season. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, the Irishman was responding to Jamie Carragher’s comment that United should not have employed Carrick in the role. “Well, his wife can always come in because she’s got a bit of a big mouth sometimes. She’s probably doing the team talk,” Keane said.
The comment was in clear reference to the falling-out that occurred between Keane and Lisa Carrick in February 2014 and after the former criticised Michael Carrick’s display and post-game comments following United’s 2-0 Champions League loss to Olympiakos. Lisa Carrick responded with a social-media post abusing Keane, which she subsequently deleted.
