Roy Keane makes cheeky dig at former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville over European Super League stance

Roy Keane has unsurprisingly proved to be a big hit on Instagram since joining the social media platform back in February.

The Manchester United icon has already amassed 1.3million followers despite only posting nine photos in the space of just over two months.

Keane has been a big hit on Instagram

And Keane’s latest post on Sunday was a classic example of his dry and witty sense of humour.

In doing so he made a cheeky dig at his former United teammate Gary Neville with a reference to the failed European Super League.

Neville, to his credit, was one of the most outspoken high-profile figures against the controversial breakaway tournament.

And Keane couldn’t resist an attempt to wind up his old pal after attending Salford City’s 2-0 win against Mansfield on Saturday.

Neville spoke vehemently against the plans to create a European Super League

Accompanied with a photo of Paul Scholes and himself Keane said: “Nice to catch up with Scholesy at the Salford game.

“Our plans for coming out of retirement to join the European Super League have been ruined by @gneville2.”

Neville took it all in good humour, though, and responded with a number of laughing emojis.

Talking to Sky Sports ahead of Leeds’ showdown with Manchester United, Neville said on the failed ESL plans: “We nearly lost it, we nearly lost football in this country, in the way in which we’ve always known it which is fair and competitive.

“And we nearly lost our top six clubs from it. How can we be in that position ever again?

“Most of us would go along with a theory of an apology is acceptable. An apology is not acceptable in this instance, with regards to the six clubs.

“It can never be accepted, because last Sunday what they announced was the attempted murder of English football.

“What these six clubs have tried to do is freeze time, freeze the fact they are the ‘big six’ forever.

“That means you take away the ambition of every other single football club in this country to try and get into that top six, and that is absolutely scandalous.

“Saying I am sorry is not enough. Enough is enough, we have to do something big.”
