Roy Keane mocks Gary Neville for something he still does with Sir Alex Ferguson years after Man Utd exit
Roy Keane ruthlessly mocked Gary Neville for something he still does with Sir Alex Ferguson despite leaving Manchester United years ago.
Ex-Man United stars Neville and Keane joined Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright for the latest episode of The Overlap - brought to you by Sky Bet.
They discussed about the best Premier League managers in history, previewed the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Man United and touched on Gareth Southgate's England party for Euro 2024, where Marcus Rashford was left out of the initial 33-man provisional squad.
On England, Keane sent a warning to Southgate as he singled out a player who could cost the Three Lions this summer.

The Irishman also hilariously poked fun at Neville for STILL calling Ferguson 'boss' years after leaving Old Trafford.
Neville announced his retirement back in February 2011 but continues to call his former manager 'boss', which Keane finds strange. Check it out below:
He exclaimed: "[To Gary Neville] Why do you call him [Sir Alex Ferguson] boss? He was your manager of a football club, his contract was with the club and your contract was with the club, why do you call someone boss? Do you call anyone else boss, besides your wife?"
The former England international said: "I still call the school teacher who I was brought through Mr. Wright. You’ve been used to calling someone that for twenty-five years."
Keane added: "I don’t get it. Not just you, everyone," to which the former right-back replied: "I would never call him Sir Alex, or Alex. For twenty-five years I called him boss."
The legendary midfielder concluded: "He’s not your boss now, is he? He’s another human being, why are you calling him boss?"
Keane and Neville played their entire Man United career under Ferguson and won several major honours.
From Premier League titles to the prestigious Champions League, and they were both a part of their famous 1999 treble-winning campaign.
