Roy Keane has a long history of criticizing Manchester United defender Harry Maguire. Recently, Keane claimed Maguire's injury-time goal against Leicester City should not have counted, despite it being allowed to stand without VAR review. In June 2024, Keane apologized to Maguire for previous harsh comments, admitting he had crossed a line. However, he has continued to criticize Maguire, particularly for missed opportunities in recent matches. Former United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and ex-player Nemanja Matic have defended Maguire against Keane's remarks. Matic described the media's treatment of Maguire as a "disaster," while Gabby Agbonlahor accused Keane of bullying.
