Guardian:
‘Only three minutes had elapsed when the supporters behind Edwin van der Sar's goal began bellowing Keane's name. And when the first rendition of "Keano" had died down another followed within two minutes. It was a chant which began in the gut and slowly picked up decibel levels beneath the "Make Glazer History" banner.
‘This was the Red Army in full voice. And here was their appreciation that, after months of everything being patronisingly brushed under the carpet, someone of authority has had the gumption and clarity of mind to say what everyone had been thinking: United are going backwards and nobody is doing anything about it.
‘By offering Keane their vocal backing the supporters were agreeing with his inflammable, yet quite plausible, assertions that Ferdinand has become a danger to his own team, that Smith and Fletcher are too one-paced, too sideways-thinking, and that Richardson could do with being brought down a peg or two.
‘Soon after…Richardson put what should have been a simple cross behind for a goalkick and almost immediately the chant of "Keano" broke out again. After the final whistle, the United players made their way over to the travelling fans - only to be met by a sea of V-signs.’
