Richard Keys couldn’t hold back his laughter after beIN SPORTS aired footage from Goodison Park ahead of Everton’s clash with Manchester United.

Everton play host to the Red Devils in a game that could see Ruben Amoim sacked if Man United fail to win with the pressure mounting on him.

The Toffees sit one point above United heading into the game, which will be a momentous occasion for Everton for more than one reason with four familiar faces set to be inducted at Goodison Park.

Andy Gray footage forced Richard Keys into laughter

Ahead of the clash, beIN SPORTS aired footage of Gray having a moment with Ally McCoist at Goodison Park, causing Keys to stutter before letting out a burst of laughter.

The two were engaged in what appeared to be a friendly coming together with McCoist seeming to gesture something towards Gray while wearing a grin on his face.

Keys, trying to keep his composure, led on with presenting the game before stopping in his tracks to laugh at the footage.

Of course, Gray is a loved figure on Merseyside having spent a couple of years at Everton during one of the most successful periods in the history of the club.

He is one of the four ex-players set to be inducted at Goodison, with Derek Mountfield, Kevin Sheedy and Paul Bracewell also in attendance.

Everton set for momentous clash with Man United

The occasion stretches far beyond just a game of football, although much of the focus will be on accumulating another crucial three points.

Just one point separates the two sides who have had very different seasons since they opted to change managers.

Under David Moyes, Everton have progressed massively while Man United have appeared to go in the complete opposite direction.

It promises to be an interesting encounter and one that for the first time in a while, Everton will not be massive underdogs.
