Roy Keane heaped praise on Manchester City and Pep Guardiola after their title heroics - but gave short shrift to Jack Grealish's suggestion that he join the celebrations tonight.
The Man United legend was on the pitch with fellow Sky Sports pundits Jamie Redknapp and Gary Neville covering City's trophy-lift following a dramatic final day in the Premier League.
Former Man City star Micah Richards was soaking in the scenes of celebration at the Etihad Stadium while analysing the league win alongside his Sky colleagues.
Richards was joined by his pal, ex-Ireland youth international and England star Grealish, and the former Villa ace gave a cheeky invite to Keane to join the title-winning party in Manchester this evening.
Redknapp joked: "These two (Grealish and Richards) heading out tonight. I'm worried!"
Grealish replied: "And Roy. He's coming!"
To which Redknapp said: "If he's out, I'm out."
But Keane - who was having none of it - quipped: "I'm driving!" - and sent Grealish and Richards into fits of laughter.
On a more serious note, the Cork native went on to laud City and Guardiola following the dramatic 3-2 comeback win that saw them retain their title.
"Whatever’s going on, with the substitutions, top players will find a way: a bit of magic, perseverance, desire,” he began. “Brilliant players, we know that. City players deserve huge credit. The pressure they were under, the last 20 minutes.”
He continued: “The biggest challenge that City faced today was what was in front of them, and that was an Aston Villa team that were neat and tidy that were sharp.
“When you’re 2-0 down, and deep down we all knew that Liverpool were going to score late on, you know you have to score three goals to win. That’s huge pressure.
"That’s where the credit goes to these players. For all their technical brilliance.”
“This desire to keep going, to get late goals, and subs impacting the game,” he said. “Credit to them for all that and Pep, Pep is one of the greatest coaches ever.
“People say constantly he’s worked with the top players, but you’ve still got to manage them, you’ve got to have a style of play. They’ve been so consistent over the years, they’re the hardest working team - well, them and Liverpool.”
