Former Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze has revealed what used to happen to a member of the Red Devils squad who told Roy Keane to "f*** off".

Suffice to say, the Irishman didn't take it terribly well.

Legendary United skipper Keane had a notorious hot streak, and referred to Heinze in his autobiography as "a good guy" and "nasty f***er".

But the Argentine has recalled the time he got so far on Keane's bad side after one loss he ended up on the floor of the dressing room after being knocked out by his captain, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Heinze, now manager of Argentinos Juniors, told Argentinian TV: "We lost a game and I went in the dressing room first and Roy Keane was second. I liked to go first after the game; I didn't want to speak to anyone as we lost.

"I didn't understand English, just the bad words. I heard my name and "f*** off" by Roy Keane, the best player.

"I knew that was bad so I stood up to him, this idol of Manchester, this great guy who everyone loved, and replied: "F*** off, you". I don't remember what happened next."

Asked if that was because he was knocked out, he replied: "Yes. Yes."

Heinze spent three years at Old Trafford, winning one Premier League title, before growing frustrated at his lack of game time and demanding a transfer to Liverpool, which was rejected by the club.

Apparently, his desire to move to United's biggest rivals had nothing to do with his altercation with Keane…
