GANA REVEALED WHAT KEANE SAID TO HIM THAT SENT HIM INTO TOTAL RAGE DURING THE FIRST HALF

GANA REVEALED WHAT KEANE SAID TO HIM THAT SENT HIM INTO TOTAL RAGE DURING THE FIRST HALF

Old Trafford turned into a theatre of pure chaos today as Manchester United and Everton collided in a Premier League showdown that fans will be talking about for weeks. But the biggest shock of the afternoon didn’t come from a goal, a VAR controversy, or a tactical masterclass — it came from Gana Gueye’s explosive meltdown, one that resulted in a red card as early as the 13th minute.

For minutes, nobody understood why the usually composed midfielder completely lost his temper. But after the match, Gueye finally broke the silence — and what he revealed has set the entire football world on fire.

“I heard what he said… and I snapped,” Gueye admits

According to the Senegalese star, the trigger came not from a challenge, not from a United player, but from a brutally honest comment made by none other than Roy Keane, who was working as a pundit for the match.

“He said I looked lost… that I wasn’t showing leadership,” Gueye confessed.

“He said Everton needed someone with ‘a bit of backbone’. Hearing that during the game… it sent me into total rage.”

Spectators had already sensed tension as Gueye reacted strangely after a simple midfield duel. But the moment he charged into a reckless challenge minutes later — the one that earned him a straight red card — fans were stunned. Now, his explanation makes the moment even more dramatic.

The Criticism That Broke His Focus

Keane’s comments, picked up on the stadium screens and echoed by nearby fans, cut deeper than expected. For a player known for his discipline and maturity, being called out publicly — and so early in the game — hit him harder than any tackle.

Gueye admitted he momentarily lost his mental grip.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have reacted… but in that moment, I just saw red — literally and emotionally.”

Everton Left in Shock

The red card left Everton scrambling. Sean Dyche was seen fuming on the sidelines as his side was forced to reorganize with 10 men against a confident United.
The momentum swung instantly, and the early dismissal became the defining moment of the first half.

Fans online wasted no time, flooding social media with divided opinions:
• “Keane was too harsh!”
• “Gueye should never have let punditry get to him.”
• “This is why football emotions are different in 2025.”

Roy Keane, as usual, won’t back down

If there’s one thing fans can predict, it’s Keane’s reaction: unapologetically blunt.
Early reports suggest he wasn’t aware his words were heard on the pitch, but he has never been one to soften his analysis — and today proved that once again.

Gueye promises to bounce back

Despite the chaos, Gueye ended his interview with a calm, reflective tone:

“It hurt because I respect him. Maybe too much. But I’ll come back stronger.”

One thing is certain — this moment will become one of the most replayed and debated clips of the United vs Everton encounter.

And with Keane involved, the story has only just begun.
