ROY KEANE has lifted the lid on some bust ups he had with former team mates at Manchester United.
The Ireland legend last night named his all time Premier League XI for the Red Devils and faced some difficult decisions.

Keane left out all time greats such as Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Eric Cantona as he agonised over the selections.
And he was full of praise for the footballing ability and character in the dressing room for all of the possible inclusions.
But Keane also revealed that he wasn't always best of friends with his team mates, including a row with Wayne Rooney over X Factor and Marbella bust up with Gary Pallister.
He told Sky Sports: "I had one or two disagreements with Wayne, but that's good.
"He took the remote control because he wanted to watch the X Factor. What an idiot, you know, X Factor.
"I was watching the rugby league so it upset me.
But I think you need that, I think that's good. I'm sitting there saying everyone's great but there was disagreements there was arguments.
"I had a fight with Gary Pallister one night in Marbella somewhere, but it was 4 o'clock in the morning. It was no big deal.
"But it's good because it lets off a bit of steam. When you're in a dressing room full of lads sometimes you need a bit of an argument."
Keane also reflected on his relationship with Peter Schmeichel who he selected in goals for his greatest XI.

The two had some high profile rows during their playing careers and Keane conceded they weren't 'best mates'.
He said: "He was very, very good. Not as good as everyone thought but he was very, very good.
"Listen, me and Peter certainly weren't the best of mates, absolutely far from it.
"But the most important thing I had for Peter and all my team mates was I had huge respect for him."
When asked 'who won the scrap' Keane replied: "We'll say it was a draw."
