‘You’re insulting me’ – Roy Keane swears at Gary Neville during disagreement
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Roy Keane accused former teammate Gary Neville of “insulting” him during a heated debate.
The pair discussed which position is easiest to play on the field during an episode of the Stick to football podcast.

Ex-midfielder Keane argued: “Right back is the easiest position to play”, prompting Arsenal legend Ian Wright to agree, saying: “Yes, you can see everything, you can get on the pitch.”
But Neville, who played at right-back for both Man Utd and England, claimed: “I think that’s subjective, to be honest. Because I think if you play against a wide player who’s quick and has some skill, right back is not easy.”
The England star pointed to Keane and continued: “When you’re in midfield against players who can’t pass the ball…”
However, Keane quickly intervened and said: “Put it like this, I went to right-back, listen. I did a decent job for the team. I know we were strong. You couldn’t go into midfield and do what I was. ” doing.”
Wright went on to say: “Because it (playing right back) is easier to do! You’ve done brilliantly as a right back, but it was easier to do.”
Neville then joked: “I think my career has been ridiculed for 10 years,” before claiming that centre-forward or goalkeeper is the most difficult position.
But eventually, after a long discussion in which Neville suggested midfielders don’t run as much as full-backs, Keane said: “You’re insulting me a bit. I’ve got a few insults coming my way!”
After making his senior debut in 1992, Neville played more than 600 games for Man Utd.

Meanwhile, Keane made 476 appearances for the Red Devils during his time at Old Trafford.
The pair also discussed how much Keane, who set United back £3.75million in 1993, would be worth in the current transfer market.
Neville argued: “What was Declan Rice? £100 million. You would be worth £100 million.”
And as Keane sipped his drink, he casually replied, “I thought so.”
