Roy Keane clashes with Ian Wright during Man United’s defeat by Arsenal – as former Red Devils hardman slams ‘f***ing rubbish’ display from Ruben Amorim’s side

Roy Keane and Ian Wright clashed on Wednesday night after the ex-Man United star slammed the Arsenal legend’s behaviour during the Gunners’ 2-0 win.

The pair were part of The Overlap’s watch-a-long, which saw them joined by Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville to cover the clash at the Emirates along with Liverpool‘s game against Newcastle.

It was always likely to be a feisty affair given Keane and Neville are legends at United, while Wright holds a similar status among Gunners supporters.

The match was billed as the first big test of the Ruben Amorim era, but the Red Devils were well-beaten thanks to second half goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba. 

The result saw Mikel Arteta‘s side close the gap on Liverpool at the top of the table to seven points, while United dropped down to 11th.

As the watch-a-long went into a discussion during the game, Keane was left fuming before Wright and Carragher poked fun at him.

United were well-beaten and Keane said their performance was ‘c**p’ and ‘f***ing rubbish’

‘Honestly that is c**p,’ Keane said, speaking on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet. ‘If that was Fulham or Wolves playing like that we would be criticising them. F***ing rubbish.’

Carragher then replied: ‘Fulham are above them’, before Keane hit back and said: ‘You know what I mean, if they were giving the ball away as cheaply as that we would be saying they are average.’

Neville chimed in on the disappointment from a United perspective as he added: ‘This is getting messy this. United are dead now, they have gone.’

Wright joked: ‘We have been very patient with a mid table team that have come and frustrated us.’

Keane was left riled up by the comment from the former Arsenal striker as he retorted: ‘Can I ask you what age are you? 

‘You’re a grandfather. Sitting there going “you’re a mid table team”. Show some class.’ 

‘I’m a fan,’ Wright said in response. ‘It’s got nothing to do about class. Was Jamie showing class? (during the Liverpool game).’

‘Absolutely not,’ Keane replied before Wright looked at the others and said: ‘You know what it is, you can only go to a certain amount with the United boys.’

United return to action on Saturday night when they entertain Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal travel to 12th place Fulham on Sunday.
