‘It’s the new garlic bread’: Roy Keane slamed Gary Neville as Man Utd legend has an ice bath and swears by as a ‘waste of time’

ROY KEANE left Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright in stitches after slamming ice baths as the “new garlic bread”.

Manchester United legend Neville, 49, revealed he has an ice bath at home which he goes in for six minutes at a temperature of five degrees.

But his former Red Devils team-mate Keane, 53, was quick to quash the idea of it having any positive effect.

Speaking on a boat in Istanbul on The Overlap On Tour, he said: “All that’s a waste of time, I’m telling you lads.

“I looked into it, I’ve done my homework on it. Ice baths, the new garlic bread.

“I’m telling you, it’s a waste of time. It’s the new thing. Leave it.”

The garlic bread comment appears to be in reference to Peter Kay’s famous comedy catchphrase from more than 20 years ago.

Keane insisted he had done his “homework” on ice baths and was not just “throwing comments out there like a lot of people”, but admitted he would only tell Wright what he knew after the cameras cut.

Neville stuck to his guns by claiming it was one of many “minor details” which add up to make an impact.

Wright agreed on the positive impacts of ice baths, before Keane chimed back at Neville by saying: “Were you having ice baths the last two or three years of your career?”

Neville confirmed he was, before Keane shut him down, adding: “But you were finished. What benefit was it? People running past you.”

The group laughed heartily at the comment and decided to disagree.

Less than a day after it was announced that Neville will be replacing bass player for indie band The Reytons on tour, the most recent Overlap video was made public.

Neville’s strange action comes after his DJ set at the Kendall Calling music festival last month.
