Manchester City have complained to Sky Sports after pundit Roy Keane branded Kyle Walker a ‘car crash’ and ‘an idiot’.
Walker didn’t enjoy his best outing in the clubs 1-1 draw with Liverpool as he was given a torrid time by Sadio Mane and gave away a penalty, which was converted by Mohamed Salah, when he tripped the Senegal star in the box.
Former United captain Keane was on punditry duty in Sky Sports studio for the match and he didn’t hold back on his scathing assessment of Walker at half-time.
“He’s (Mane) up against an idiot,” Keane said at half time.
“People tell me Kyle Walker is playing well, I don’t think so. He’s 30 years of age, international player. “He’s a car crash, he keeps making these types of mistakes and rightly punished for it.”
According to Daily Mail, the Citizens have made a complained to Sky Sports regarding Keane’s comment.
The report adds that City have no issue with a pundit questioning a player’s actions or decisions on the pitch but they believe by calling Walker ‘an idiot’, Keane stepped over the line.

Very good it was high time for us to stand up against sky sports and their pundits agenda of pulling our players and the team down, United has had horrible individual performances but you never see Keane call them idiots.

Roy Keane is a hypocrite the same guy that broke legs in daily basis and made the dirtiest challenges in football and has the audacity to call Walker a car crash
