Ben Spratt 29 August, 2017 23:51 IST Manchester United's Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy would be worth billions in today's transfer market, according to former team-mate Roy Keane. - Getty Images Ben Spratt 29 August, 2017 23:51 IST Ryan Giggs would be worth £2billion in the modern transfer market, former Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane outlandishly claimed. Neymar made a £198million move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, more than doubling the previous world-record fee. With Everton buying Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea City for £45m and Marko Arnautovic swapping Stoke City for West Ham in a £24m deal, ex-United captain Keane is bemused by the figures now involved. The 46-year-old suggested his Old Trafford colleagues would be worth 10-figure sums if they were available on the current market. "Ruud [van Nistelrooy] would be worth a billion. [David] Beckham, a billion. Giggsy, two billion," said Keane. "It's mind-boggling, it really is. The figures out there now for players - it's not the player's fault, it's the market, the market value of players. "It's mind-boggling - especially for the average players. If ever there's a time to be a professional footballer, it's now - average players are going for £35m. My goodness. "The really brilliant players are going for big money. When average players are going for £30m-£40m, it does make you scratch your head." Asked what he would be worth, Keane jokingly replied "£3.75million" - the amount United paid to sign him from Nottingham Forest in 1993. Read more stories on Premier League.
