Roy Keane hilariously teased Gary Neville with a 'bribe' joke after the former Manchester United defender admitted to having a shocking performance in a famous match for the club.

Neville and Keane joined Jill Scott and Micah Richards in a Manchester derby-themed episode for The Overlap ahead of the FA Cup final.

The Sky Sports pundit were tasked with picking a combined XI from Pep Guardiola's current Manchester City team and Man United legends over the years.

Neville, Keane, Scott and Richards butted heads when selecting the midfield and attackers, but all agreed on selecting Peter Schmeichel in goal.

The legendary Danish stopper starred in net during his illustrious spell at Man United and produced one of his finest performances against Newcastle United in a pivotal Premier League clash back in the 1995/96 season.

Scott recalled Schmeichel's outing between the sticks in a game where Neville filled in at centre-half.

He described his own showing as 'shocking' as he praised the goalkeeper.

Neville said: "He was unbelievable against Newcastle that night. I mean, I was shocking that night, that first-half. I was centre-half."

To which Keane brilliantly replied: "Should have taken you off at half-time that night. Looked like you took a bribe from Newcastle!"

A few seasons later, Schmeichel would go onto help Man United win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

An incredible feat which could be emulated by Man City, who have bagged the Premier League and FA Cup ahead of facing Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday.
