Twain's excitement did not last long. When he met up with Roy Keane himself, he poured cold water on his excitement.
"Mr. Twain, I know why you called my agent." Seated in a booth in a regular Irish pub, the former Manchester United team captain spoke to Twain. "But I'm really sorry, I have to turn down your offer."
Twain stared blankly for a moment. Is this Irishman so straightforward in rejecting people?
He pondered for a moment and could only simply ask, "Why?"
Next to them, the agent, Michael Kennedy. answered the question on Keane's behalf. "Because Roy is not going to be an opponent of Manchester United in the Premier League."
