Manchester United legend Roy Keane surprised the media and the fans by making a shocking revelation about the players he had as teammates during his successful career with the Red Devils, leaving clear that one of them would have been terribly overrated during his time at the Mancunian institution..

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that Keane played for Manchester United from 1993 to 2006, having shared a dressing-room with several of the greatest players in club’s history during his stage at the club, including top footballers such as Wayne Rooney, David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the Irishman, known for his strong honesty on and off the pitch, didn’t hide that one of those players would have been totally overrated during his time at Manchester United, and didn’t have any doubt on naming him during his intervention in Sky Sport while Gary Neville was strongly surprised by his ex teammate.

Keane gave a strong message on the player’s quality

Speaking on the Overlap and being interviewed by Neville, Keane was asked to say the best shot-stopper he played alongside and the United legend picked Schmeichel as his choice, adding that the Danish player was terribly overrated. “I suppose I would have to say Peter, but I still think he was overrated. I just don’t think he was as good as everyone made out. But he was very good”, explained Keane.
