Robbie Keane has laughed off Sir Alex Ferguson's suggestion that his move from Tottenham to Liverpool was the surprise transfer of the summer.
At a press conference on Tuesday, the Manchester United boss admitted raising an eyebrow upon learning Keane had sealed a move to Merseyside.
The striker arrived at Liverpool burdened with a hefty price tag and in the knowledge Reds boss Rafa Benitez had tinkered with his formation to accommodate a much-feted partnership with Fernando Torres.
Keane, who captains Republic of Ireland in Montenegro on Wednesday, insists Ferguson's assessment of his move is water off a duck's back, as he believes the game is all about opinions.
"I'm very surprised John O'Shea doesn't play for United every week," said Keane. "Football is about opinions and I respect everybody's opinion."
Keane will have a chance to prove to Ferguson he is well worth the £20.3million Liverpool shelled out for his services when his new side play United at Anfield on Saturday.
