Sky Sports pundits Roy Keane and Gary Neville did not see eye to eye on the former Manchester United player who is the most underrated in the history of the Premier League.
Roy Keane and Gary Neville shared the pitch together at Old Trafford and enjoyed incredible success together under iconic former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The two Manchester United legends crossed paths with a roster of star-studded talent at the Premier League club, including Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, both Neville and Keane felt that there were different former United teammates who were underappreciated in the Premier League history books.
Is Gary Neville wrong to be ruling Michael Carrick out of the running for the permanent job already?
Or do you think this is a moment Neville is speaking sense?
Roy Keane singles out Jesper Blomqvist and Quinton Fortune at Man Utd as his two potential names for his answer
Jesper Blomqvist arrived at Old Trafford in the 1990s under former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after he was signed from Serie A side Parma.
The 52-year-old former Red Devils player was a key rotational option for Ferguson and was at the Premier League club during the iconic treble-winning season.
Quinton Fortune, meanwhile, arrived at Man Utd after Ferguson’s treble-winning campaign with the Red Devils after he was landed from Atletico Madrid in 1999.
Keane admitted that he was torn between picking Quinton Fortune and Blomqvist, but the legendary former Man Utd captain settled for the latter.
When asked who the most underrated player in Premier League history is, he told The Overlap: “I think Jesper Blomqvist was kind of a better player than what people thought.
“Quinton Fortune was a better player than people thought. I’ll go with Jesper Blomqvist.”
Are Roy Keane’s concerns valid? Or is he just adding needless negativity to the Michael Carrick debate?
Gary Neville turns his attention to fellow Man Utd legend Denis Irwin as his underrated Premier League pick
Denis Irwin is widely regarded as one of the best left-backs in Man Utd’s history, but the Premier League legend has often been overlooked for his influence at times.
Gary Neville insisted that the 60-year-old Irishman would be his pick for the most underrated and talked up Man Utd treble winner Denis Irwin in the Premier League.
“Most underrated player? Denis Irwin,” he said.
“100 per cent the best full-back in Premier League history. Denis Irwin.”
Irwin, who could play as a left-back or right-back, lifted seven Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, two FA Cups and a League Cup with United.
