The former Manchester United captain said the medals had been won by ‘cheating’
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane stated he would throw his medals in the bin if he were a Manchester City player, following an independent commission finding the club guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. Speaking on ITV Sport, Keane labeled the eight trophies won between 2009 and 2018 as tainted by cheating. The verdict determined City had overstated revenues by over £830 million using sham agreements.
Fellow pundit Ian Wright called for unprecedented punishments, while potential sanctions include stripping Manchester City of their honors. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney expressed reluctance about receiving reallocated titles, noting his discomfort with claiming medals United did not earn on the pitch. Manchester City maintain their innocence and have until Friday, October 2, to lodge an appeal.
