Roy Keane revealed he patched up his recent dispute with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes through a phone conversation. The Sky Sports pundit had incorrectly claimed Fernandes said he chose to pass instead of shoot while pursuing the Premier League assist record, prompting Fernandes to call out the error on his podcast appearance.

Keane explained Fernandes reached out directly to discuss the misunderstanding. The two former United captains shared what Keane described as a 'nice, mature conversation' where they cleared the air. 'He apologised, I forgave him, no problem,' Keane joked, emphasizing the importance of direct communication between pundits and players.

The controversy centered around Fernandes breaking the Premier League assist record with 20, surpassing Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne's previous mark. At 30, Fernandes continues leading United's midfield rebuild, with the club already securing Atalanta's Ederson for £38m and exploring West Ham's Mateus Fernandes at £80m.

Their resolution demonstrates how former players can maintain relationships despite public disagreements. Keane's willingness to address the mistake directly with Fernandes reflects mutual respect between two prominent figures in United's history.
