Lisa Carrick, the wife of Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick, slammed former club captain Roy Keane on Tuesday night for his criticism of the midfielder after the 2-0 defeat at Olympiacos.
Keane was typically disgusted with United's performance in Greece, and singled out Carrick's post-match interview for being as flat as the team's performance and lacking urgency.

Lisa Tweeted shortly after: 'Roy Keane what a **** says anything to provoke a reaction .. That's all .. Done ..' She promptly deleted the Tweet before posting again to say: 'Deleted my tweet .. Emotions got the better of me .. Just disappointed.'
Keane said on ITV after Carrick's interview: ‘That interview was just like their performance – flat,’
When asked what he wanted Carrick to say by Adrian Chiles, an exasperated Keane added: ‘I want him to say something.
'Say a bit more - a bit more urgency in his interview - it just reflected United's performance tonight - flat, no urgency.

Carrick put on a brave face afterwards, suggesting United can still progress when the last-16 tie moves to Manchester, but admitted the Greek side were in 'a great position'.
'It's hugely disappointing but we feel like we're still in with a chance going back to Old Trafford,' he said. 'We've lost a game we came here hoping to win and haven't done that. We're not out of tie by all means, but it's not ideal.'
Asked what went wrong, Carrick added: 'I'm not sure. We had good possesion in the first half. We had control of the game without penetrating their line, but at same time they weren't causuing us any problems.
'The goals came from nothing, but it obviously puts them in a great position. We didn't start the second half very well. A bit sloppy really.'
