IS THIS A WIND UP?

Phil Neviile says that some of United’s players have a soft spot for Keegan:

"The United players who played under Kevin for England have a lot of affection for him, he was great for me. It wasn't just him but also Derek Fazackerley and Arthur Cox. My football came on leaps and bounds with those three.

"My game improved under Kevin and I have nothing but praise for him. If you speak to any other player who played under him they'll have nothing but quality to say about him.

"I was very pleased when he got back into football with City. He is made for City. City fans are notorious for their enthusiasm and thinking big and they have a manager with bags of enthusiasm and who thinks big too. He demands the best and so do City fans. They are perfect for each other. City fans and Kevin Keegan go hand in hand."

So over the top it sounds suspiciously like a wind up.
