The former Manchester United and Irish captain Roy Keane couldn’t help but to take a fresh swipe at his former Manager Sir Alex Ferguson while talking with Gary Neville, Micah Richards and Jill Scott on The Overlap. The four of them sat down for a chat before the final of the FA Cup on Saturday.

The ex-United duo had been asked to name the final score in the first Manchester derby they started together, with Neville wrongly believing it was the match from 2000: ‘I think this was 1-0, Becks free-kick, the boss not there. Do you know that game or was that later? Do you know the one I mean? Did you play in that then?’
When Jill Scott asked where Sir Alex had been, Keane could not resist sticking the boot in, saying: ‘His son was getting married. Obviously.’
In a very sarcastic voice, he added: ‘Because he always did what was right for Man United. But he obviously went to his son’s wedding, yeah.’
Steve McClaren was in the dugout in Sir Alex’s absence and Keane also took aim at the former England boss – who is now on Erik ten Hag’s staff – by suggesting it was the players who managed the game in Ferguson’s absence.
He continued: ‘Steve McClaren took it didn’t he? Steve definitely took it. Well, we took it! Steve was there. Steve was assistant to us that day, wasn’t he?’
