Roy Keane singles out 'genius' Premier League star he's glad he never had to face - as Man United legend makes shock admission about how he would've rated his chances against player

Roy Keane has named one Premier League 'genius' he would have hated playing against.

The Manchester United legend is a seven-time Premier League winner but even he can admit who would frighten him.

Keane, an Old Trafford mainstay from 1993 to 2005, claimed he would have been 'twisted inside out' by the maestro.

The Irishman has previously waxed lyrical about Zinedine Zidane, Steven Gerrard, and Frank Lampard as among the best he faced in the middle of the park.
