Roy Keane criticises England WAGs for wearing partners’ names on shirts

Roy Keane has criticised the wives and girlfriends of England footballers for wearing shirts displaying their partners' surnames during the World Cup.

The commentator and former Manchester United captain, 54, told The Overlap podcast: "Children is fine, but all the wives and partners were in their jerseys with their name on the back, wow...

"The wives, a year later, they're separated, most of them. Wow. And they're all getting pictures, and they're like, 'Look," and they're pointing at Jimmy or Johnny on the back."

Ian Wright appeared to disagree, saying: "Her husband's playing, and she's proud of him, and she wants to wear his shirt."

Keane added: "They don't do it at Old Trafford or Anfield every week, do they? So what's with this World Cup?"
