Roy Keane has aimed a dig at Joey Barton over his controversial views on female footballers, pundits and presenters.
The 41-year-old, who is currently without a job after being axed by Bristol Rovers in October, has been outspoken on social media.
Barton has caused controversy by suggesting women working on the men's game aren't up to the job.
He has also targeted Mary Earps, who was recently crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

And Keane has now aimed a sly dig at the former Manchester City, QPR and Newcastle star.
Appearing on the Stick to Football show, Keane took part in a quiz hosted by Paddy McGuinness.
McGuiness asked both Keane and Ian Wright who spent longer in their respective roles between Emma Hayes at Chelsea and David Moyes at Everton.
And Keane showed his sense of humour by saying: "I might call Joey Barton.
"Joey would know."
Barton has been refusing to back down amid a strong backlash to his opinions.
And he vented his fury earlier in the week after learning former Liverpool and England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis would be working for Prime Video during the latest round of Premier League fixtures.
"Is this women pundit (Finnis-Brown) [sic] an international goalie? She’s at least a foot shorter than tortoise head and McManaman," he said.
"I’d chip her on her line.
"Why is she talking about the men’s game???
"Please stop this nonsense."
McGuiness, meanwhile, was asked about the BBC's decision to scrap A Question of Sport.
And the 50-year-old admitted he was devastated by the decision and hope it returns one day in the future.
"Oh my god," he said when quizzed on the subject by former Manchester United captain Gary Neville.
"Absolutely devastated (it got cancelled).
