Keane added, through the Mirror: “Maybe he would be the first to admit that he had little success in his career but could have done more if he tried harder. I think he would be honest enough to say that because he was so laid back and had the manager on his case all the time.
“But then he went as much as Leeds and obtained a foul damage, however I feel general, I feel Sharpie would admit that he may have achieved extra in his profession, however he did not have that actual starvation and need to take care of a excessive commonplace over an extended time frame.”

Keane advised that Sharpe didn’t reply properly to Ferguson’s ‘powerful love’ in the direction of the top of his time within the north west. Keane recognised that his former team-mate had admitted he had stopped listening to the supervisor.
The 52 yr previous pundit defined: “With managers giving players tough love, I remember seeing an interview recently with Lee Sharpe, and he really loved his football and off the field he had fun as well, especially with his dancing. But he said towards the end of his time at Manchester United, when Sir Alex Ferguson was having a go at him, he said that he just stopped listening.”
