Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has labeled Jose Mourinho as 'really irritating' after the Portuguese coach was appointed as the new manager of the club.
The former Chelsea boss has replaced Louis Van Gaal at Old Trafford, and signed a three-year deal, with the option of an additional year.
There has been a mixed response from the United fans over the appointment, and it has now been revealed that club legend Roy Keane isn't too keen on the 53-year-old either, but believes he is capable of getting the club back on track.
"He is not my cup of tea," Keane told ITV. "I found him really irritating when I coached against him, but that is just a personal thing.
"Working at Manchester United is all about winning and his CV will tell you he is a winner. He was always going to be a good option when United didn't qualify for the Champions League.
"He was available, fantastic CV and it seems like a good fit, but maybe he is not for me."
Will Mourinho be a success at United?
