Ian Wright and Roy Keane had contrasting reactions to a photo of Gary Barlow’s son, Daniel, who has been attracting attention due to his towering height over his famous father.

The 24-year-old is reportedly 6’2″, seven inches taller than his dad. Wright, who is taller than his own football-playing sons, Bradley and Shaun, seemed amused by the family snap. However, former Manchester United and Ireland star Keane was less impressed.

“Have you seen Gary Barlow’s son?” Wright asked on the Stick to Football podcast. Keane remained unimpressed as Wright showed him the photo, saying, “He should be playing basketball,” referring to Daniel’s height.

Fellow panellist Jill Scott joked, “Maybe Gary Barlow has shrunk over the years,” while Keane was more focused on starting the show.

After moving past the Barlow debate, the show welcomed David Moyes as a guest. The ex-Manchester United boss weighed in on Ruben Amorim’s upcoming tenure at Old Trafford, set to begin on November 11.

“He is in a completely different situation now,” Moyes remarked about 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.”

Moyes also touched on Amorim’s tactical leanings towards a 3-4-3 formation, suggesting that the squad will manage to adjust. “I don’t think the adaptation for Manchester United will take too long,” he continued. “It might a while for it to get to where he [Amorim] wants it, but I think Manchester United will be fine.”

Since going viral, Gary Barlow has poked fun at his son for his size during a workout. Sharing a clip to Facebook he wrote: “There’s nothing I love more than spending time with my kids. Here’s a little video of Dan and me having a Father and Son training session. I’m very proud of my boy and his commitment to his fitness.

“Don’t look at the difference in weights. Don’t notice that I’m stood a little further forward to make the size gap smaller. Lol.”
