Richard Keys and Andy Gray have criticised Roy Keane and other modern pundits for their continual condemnation of players like Harry Maguire.
The duo, who left Sky Sports in 2011 after leaked tapes exposed the presenters making derogatory and sexist comments about female assistant referee Sian Massey, feel Keane epitomises the critical nature of analysts in today's game.
Since his retirement, the Manchester United legend has built a reputation as a no-nonsense pundit on Sky and ITV. He once called England star Maguire a 'disgrace' and threatened to punch Red Devils goalkeeper David de Gea.
