The former Manchester United captain is of the opinion that the PSV Eindhoven defender's tackle, which resulted in a double leg break for England international Luke Shaw as a 'brilliant' one.
Hector Moreno's challenge on Man Utd left back Luke Shaw resulted in a double leg-break for the 20 year old.
The 20 year old who has been in superb form is expected to be out for a long time as a result of the injury. While there have been many sympathizers Keane didn't seem to be one of them when he gave his opinion on the tackle.
Speaking to ITV Sport he said:
"I thought it was a brilliant challenge, I love the physical side of the game.
"You can always tell by player reactions and none of the United lads at the time - and players are best judges because they are nearest the tackle - didn't react over the top thinking it was a bad challenge, obviously at the end of it.
"And when players are travelling that speed, defending like that, injuries are going to happen. I'm surprised there are not more like it. It was more of an accident at the end with his trailing foot."
