When Ryan Giggs is thinking of his best-ever eleven, Roy Keane would be the first on his list.

The Irishman is regarded as one of Manchester United's greatest-ever players after a distinguished career with the Red Devils.

And another Reds legend has paid him in the ultimate compliment, in naming him as a no-brainer on his best-ever XI.

Explaining why he would choose Keano, the ex-winger describes him as a 'leader'.

When asked to describe Keane, the Welshmen said: "Competitive, a leader and a brilliant player.

"He's a great teammate. I always get asked who's the best player I played with, but if I was going to name my best-ever eleven - Keane will be the first on that teamsheet.

"It's because you felt that every time he played you'd win the game."

You can take a look at the full Webby & O'Neill video below, which also features tributes from Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and more.

Meanwhile, Keane's best moments on TV over the past year have been put together in a brilliant video.

The Manchester United legend has had plenty to say on a variety of topics, with a number of players on the receiving end of his criticism.

From his explosive rants that saw him become a viral sensation this season, to his hilarious one liners that left fans in stitches, the former Ireland star is must-watch on punditry.
