‘I always worry when people say that,’ says Roy Keane after Gary Neville’s observation about Man Utd stars
ROY Keane was quick to shoot down Gary Neville’s suggestion that Manchester United looked ‘lively’ in the warm-up before their game against Arsenal.
Keane and Neville were appearing on Sky Sports for Super Sunday at Old Trafford.
Cameras panned to Erik Ten Hag’s side limbering up on the pitch before the game as the pundits spoke.
That prompted Neville to say: “They look quite lively in this warm-up, I hope they’re as lively in the game”.
But hard to please Keane wasn’t having his former teammate’s comments.
The Irishman replied: “I always worry when people say that”.
Neville and Keane often get heated when it comes to discussing the beautiful game.
The pair appear on The Overlap on YouTube, where they often clash.
Most recently, they clashed after Keane called West Ham stars “idiots” following the news David Moyes will be leaving the club in the summer.
Predicting the scores of this weekend’s fixtures on The Overlap’s Stick to Football show Neville felt Moyes would say goodbye with a win.
The Manchester United legend said: “I think they will give him an amazing reception and I think the players will be up for it.”
But due to them suffering an embarrassing 5-0 loss to Chelsea last Sunday, Keane interjected: “Why didn’t they thank him last week?
We’ll be up for it this week, forget last week by the way. Idiots.”
Neville hit back: “I’m not defending West Ham’s players, I’m just saying there will be a thank you type environment.”
Keane predicted that Luton would win 2-1 as his old team-mate joked he was only saying that because “he’s had a falling out with the West Ham players.”
But the no-nonsense Irishman continued as he ranted: “Yeah, they are officially a joke.
