Denis Irwin Reveals his Favourite two teammates in his time at Manchester United

Posted by

The former Manchester United and Irish left wing back was a very popular character in both squads and was mister constant, hardly ever missing a game always at least 8/10 performance in every game for club and country. There were some great characters in that Manchester United squad and Denis Irwin reveals who his favourite two were;

“Roy Keane is the best player that I’ve ever played with,” Irwin told Four Four Two.

“My two favourite players who I played with were Robbo and Roy. They were really similar, but I had a lot of time with Roy for United and Ireland. I saw him develop from being a box-to-box player to a holding midfielder.

“Our midfield in 1999 complemented each other. Scholesy was a magnificent footballer, partly because whenever he played alongside Roy it was the perfect partnership. Wide of them were Giggsy and Becks, but the driving force was always Roy.”
