Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville offered contrasting predictions for the upcoming Premier League derby against Manchester City at the Etihad.
City thrashed Luton Town 6-2 in the FA Cup, while United scraped by Nottingham Forest 1-0. This gulf in form is reflected in the predictions.
Keane went bold, predicting a 3-1 City win. He playfully jabbed Neville, saying “Let’s go 3-1 City” before adding, “Don’t be copying us now.”
Neville, ever the optimist, initially mirrored Keane’s 3-1 scoreline. However, he acknowledged the difficulty for United, adding, “It’s probably about right.
I’d like to have United with a goal, to be fair… just something!” This suggests he wouldn’t be surprised by a City win, but hopes for a consolation goal for United.
It remains to be seen if United can defy the odds and avoid defeat in the Manchester derby.
