In 2013, Keane and Vieira took part in a documentary chronicling their rivalry, and the former United captain admitted he confronted Vieira because he singled out 'weak link' Neville.
'I had obviously seen you at the top of the tunnel probably having a go at Gary, and maybe one or two others, and what really annoyed me that night was, again whether I was right or wrong was that you were picking on Gary,' Keane said about the incident.
'I was looking at Nicky Butt and I think Wes Brown and I’m thinking you were almost picking on the weakest link so that’s what got my back up that, there were two or three of you ganging up on Gary. Simple as that'.
Vieira said that he was merely sticking up for his teammate Robert Pires.'When we played at Old Trafford his [Neville's] tackling was flying on Robert Pires and he was doing it on purpose and I said listen, we are not at Old Trafford here, this is Highbury'.
Keane and Viera would only play against each other once more and both had left their respective clubs within a year. It's fair to say neither club has adequately replaced their former skippers, and there's since been no rivalry to match, at least not in the Premier League.
