Roy Keane has always pushed for the highest of standards, even from Gary Neville, who hung up his boots 13 years ago.
Gary Neville was one of the finest right-backs to play for Manchester United. And in the same team as Roy Keane, he had one of the greatest leaders to wear the shirt in his corner.
They won everything together under Sir Alex Ferguson. Nowadays they often work alongside one another as pundits.
Neville and Keane are spearheading ITV’s coverage of Euro 2024 and they’ve prepared for the semi-finals by taking on the BBC pundits in a five-a-side match.
It saw Micah Richards, Rio Ferdinand and others take on the likes of Neville and Keane.
Footage shows Keane on the touchline losing it with Neville as ITV conceded a soft goal.
The former England and United right-back wasn’t forgiven for not being in speak shake as Keane tore into him, shouting: “Nev! F****** get tighter!
“Jesus, you show him the line, you have got to stop the shot!”
