Roy Keane's typical response to Theo Walcott as pair debate Manchester United vs Arsenal rivalry
Roy Keane welcomed Theo Walcott into punditry life with a typical bit of dry humour ahead of Manchester United's Premier League trip to Arsenal.
Walcott has moved into media work having retired from playing over the summer and was part of the Sky Sports team for the heavyweight Premier League contest. The former England international was alongside Keane and the pair were quizzed by fellow pundit Micah Richards on which of Arsenal and United is the bigger club.
And the clip, posted on social media, showed Keane listening as Walcott provided his explanation before reacting with a knowing shoulder pat and a word or two for the former Gunner as Richards asked for a comparison from the pair of the two giants of English football.

“It’s a stupid question. Arsenal finished above United so, right now, for me, I would have to say [Arsenal],” Walcott said. “I feel the club are a bit more organised, especially behind the scenes as well.”
Former United captain Keane immediately quipped, “So naive and young. So Naive and young.”
And, when asked which club was biggest, if everything was taken into account, Walcott admitted “If you’re talking overall, United would definitely top that.” Keane had the last word, saying: “Of course it’s United, he’s being silly.”
The Gunners mounted a surprise challenge for the title last term but are without a Premier League title since 2004 while United have also gone a decade without winning the league. Both clubs will be hoping to mount a sustained challenge to Man City this term.
