Roy Keane misses out on Premier League all-time XI as six Manchester United legends make it

An artificial intelligence chatbot has revealed a Premier League all-time XI based on stats - and there's no room for Roy Keane.

SportsLens asked ChatGPT to name the best possible team to grace the English top-flight, with Cristiano Ronaldo the only player who is currently still playing to make the list.

He is one of six former Manchester United stars on the team, but Keane is not one of them. Thierry Henry and David Beckham are other notable absentees.
