Roy Keane teases Gary Neville with Newcastle 'bribe' joke after 'shocking' admission

Roy Keane has joked Gary Neville must have taken a 'bribe' after the ex-Manchester United defender owned up to a 'shocking' display against Newcastle United. The duo both started in the memorable contest at St James' Park in March 1996, where heroics from Peter Schmeichel and Eric Cantona's strike swung momentum in the title race away from the Magpies.

The Sky Sports pundits were joined by Jill Scott and Micah Richards in a Manchester derby-themed edition ahead of the FA Cup final. The Red Devils had already lifted the Carabao Cup this term after beating Eddie Howe's side in February, but tasted defeat at Wembley themselves at the hands of rivals Manchester City on Saturday.

Neville and Keane were tasked with selecting Manchester United's representatives for a combined eleven with City in the Premier League era. Selecting the midfield and frontline proved contentious, but Schmeichel in goal was agreed upon by all four pundits.
