Ian Wright reacts to viral picture of Gary Barlow's son - but Roy Keane left furious

Gary Barlow and his son Daniel have gone viral after a family photo was shared online, even making it as far as the football pundit world as Ian Wright gave his thoughts

Ian Wright and Roy Keane found themselves looking at a picture of Gary Barlow's son before getting down to business discussing football, but the two pundits reacted very differently.

Take That star Barlow's son Daniel has attracted plenty of attention after a family photo went viral. The 24-year-old appears to tower over his famous father, though reports suggest he is only 6'2" - still seven inches taller than his old man.

Wright is taller than his two football-playing sons, 5'8" Bradley and 5'6" Shaun. And the former England striker clearly had fun looking at the Barlow family snap.

The excitement wasn't shared by everyone, though. Former Manchester United and Ireland star Keane is often less easily impressed, and this was no exception.

"Have you seen Gary Barlow’s son? The Take That singer. Have you seen the size of his son?" Wright asked before he and his fellow panelists on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet, took their seats.

Keane appeared perplexed at the question, and remained stony-faced as Wright pulled out his phone to show a photo. "He should be playing basketball," the ex-Arsenal star added. "He's like a giant, look at the size of him."

Jill Scott, another of the panelists, was taken aback upon seeing the size of Barlow junior. "Maybe Gary Barlow has shrunk over the years," she joked. Keane, however, appeared more concerned with ensuring everyone was in their seat for the show to begin.

Once the panel moved on from the Barlow discussion, they welcomed guest panelist David Moyes onto the show. The former Manchester United manager gave his verdict on Ruben Amorim, among other topics, with the Portuguese due to take over at Old Trafford on November 11.

“He is in a completely different situation now,” Moyes said of Amorim. “I was really forcing it, to take over the champions at the time, so I was coming from a different [perspective]. At the moment, the players might now be saying that they need to step up because the manager might be coming from a stronger position.

“Manchester United have really talented players. Getting into Manchester United in the situation they’re in, they can only improve – because of that we might see an improvement in their performance.”

Discussing Amorim's preference for a 3-4-3 setup, he suggested players will be flexible enough to adapt. “I don’t think the adaptation for Manchester United will take too long," the Scot added. "It might a while for it to get to where he [Amorim] wants it, but I think Manchester United will be fine.”
