Sunderland boss Roy Keane has stated that he has nothing but respect for both Arsenal and manager Arsène Wenger.

As captain of Manchester United, Keane says that he always looked forward to the games against their arch-rival, and also blames Gary Neville for the two clubs falling even further out of favour.

The Gunners taken on Sunderland today in a game which sees the North London club trying to gain stronger footing in the chase for the title.

He said: "He started it and then went missing.

"Gary had a go at nobody. Someone just had a go at Gary coming in from the warm-up. So Gary told me.

"Gary was a team-mate and I thought it was out of order. I had to defend my team-mate. I'd do it again.

"You do not go around threatening people in the tunnel but you defend yourself, especially away from home if you are up against it.

"You don't win games in the tunnel, though. You might lose them. We still had to go out and win. I think we won 4-2.

"They were great occasions against Arsenal. It was a battle, the tensions between the two teams, between the managers, the two clubs — brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

"By God, you looked forward to those games.

"Is Wenger harder than he looks? Without a shadow of doubt.

"He has that presence about him. I'm sure if he was having a go at you and standing over you, you would realise that presence."
