Roy Keane regrets his disrespect to former Man United team-mates Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes

Roy Keane has expressed his regret at taking part in a recent documentary in which he picked his greatest Manchester United XI from former team-mates.

The Cork man spent 12 years at Old Trafford and was captain of the side which won the historic Treble in 1999, but has revealed that he feels he disrespected some players by excluding them from his side.

Regrets: Roy Keane said he was not comfortable with his selection for Man United XI

ROY KEANE'S UNITED XI

GK: Peter Schmeichel

RB: Paul Parker

CB: Gary Pallister

CB: Jaap Stam

LB: Denis Irwin

RM: David Beckham

CM: Paul Ince

CM: Roy Keane

LM: Cristiano Ronaldo

ST: Eric Cantona

ST: Ruud Van Nistelrooy

There was no place for the club's current interim manager, Ryan Giggs, or other members of the famed Class of 92, including Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, while Jaap Stam, Paul Ince, David Beckham and Ruud van Nistlerooy (all players who, like Keane, also fell out of favour with Sir Alex Ferguson) were selected.

'That programme is not something I'm entirely happy that I've done,' he said. 'Whether people liked it or not, I felt uncomfortable picking my best XI.

'I felt embarrassed leaving players out. I feel like I disrespected my teammates. And if you asked me to name my best XI now, well I wouldn't do it, first of all. But if I did, there'd probably be three or four changes.'

Keane has worked as a pundit with ITV, the channel which aired the documentary - Keane and Vieira: Best of Enemies - since 2011.
