Man Utd do not deserve Man City titles - Rooney

Roy Keane won seven Premier League titles with Manchester United

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has said he would throw his "medals in the bin" if he were a Manchester City player after the club was found guilty of all charges related to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules.

On Tuesday, the Premier League confirmed the Etihad club had been found guilty of flouting its rules over a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018 by creating "sham" contracts with commercial partners to secretly funnel more than £830m into their football operations.

City, who continue to deny any wrongdoing, won eight trophies, including three Premier League titles, during that period.

Keane said the achievements of City's players had become redundant because of the "cheating" that took place during that time.

"If I was a player, I'd be 100% sticking those medals in the bin. Of course you would, it's cheating," Keane told ITV Sport ahead of England's match against the Czech Republic.

"They won it on the pitch because cheating was going on."

And on the club he added: "They knew it would hurt a lot of people, but they've still done it."
