Manchester United legend Roy Keane has lifted the lid on Gary Neville's role in Sir Alex Ferguson's dressing room.
Roy Keane and Gary Neville shared the pitch more than 300 times during their time at Manchester United. The duo helped Sir Alex Ferguson's side win 10 major honors.
After hanging up their boots in 2006 and 2011 respectively, Roy Keane and Gary Neville stepped into the world of management. However, the two did not have much success as tacticians.
Roy Keane and Gary Neville, though, have established themselves as top pundits. While the former was always known for being vocal on the pitch, the latter did not use to be as outspoken.
Explaining Gary Neville's role in Manchester United's dressing room, Roy Keane has revealed the defender used to be very quiet. The Irishman is of the view that the former full-back knew his place in the team. He said on Sky Bet's Driving Home For Christmas [via The Mirror]:
“Gary’s alright. Remember when I played with Gary, he was very quiet. He knew his role in the dressing room, and that was to keep quiet. He was a full-back, they don’t say much in the dressing room. You’ve got to know your place."
Gary Neville, on the other hand, has previously opened up on what it was like to share the dressing room with Roy Keane. He said:
“When I was playing, you always had three groups - the guardians, the middle group and the younger ones. When I started in the first team, there were players like Paul Ince and Roy Keane and one bad pass was regarded as an absolute crime.”
