The United icon went on to say: "It was before Sunday's game, I wasn't the best on Sunday," before revealing that he left at 3:30am.
Just hours later he then appeared at Stamford Bridge to cover Chelsea's Premier League meeting with Liverpool.
Neville was reportedly the only ex-Man Utd player to have been invited to the party.
It prompted Keane to joke: "Did he forget about all his other team-mates? Were we not good enough? Know what I mean..."

But the former Ireland international replied: "You know my 50th, it was at the Pizza Express in Altrincham."

He then hit back with: "I didn't want you there," when Neville said that he would have attended.
As well as the party, Beckham marked his 50th birthday with a family gathering at his £10million Cotswolds mansion, a black tie bash in Miami and a trip to France.
His children - Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13 - were at each celebration, as was his wife, Victoria, 51.
However, Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, was absent amid rumours of a family feud.

Nicola Sturgeon and Irvine Welsh join Edinburgh Book Festival line-up

The former first minister is preparing to launch a mammoth promotional tour ahead of the publication of her long-awaited political memoir. Nicola Sturgeon and Irvine Welsh are among the big names appearing at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival, organisers have announced. The ex-SNP leader will appear at the event's venue in Chartlotte Square in August - just yards from Bute House, her official residence when she spent almost a decade as first minister. ‌ Sturgeon is preparing to launch a mammoth promotional tour ahead of the publication of Frankly, her long-awaited political memoir. ‌ The former first minister has said she "poured my heart" into writing the book, which hits the shops on August 14. Sturgeon, who will stand down as an MSP next year, is being paid a six-figure sum for the book deal. The Scottish Parliament's register of interests showed that she will earn £300,000. It comes after Scotland's top civil servant was this week accused of fawning over Sturgeon after wishing her success with her £300,000 memoirs. Permanent Secretary Joe Griffin cheered on the former First Minister after clearing the 464-page book, titled 'Frankly', for publication. In a letter telling her no changes were required for national security reasons, he gushed: "I wish you well with publication of the memoirs". Meanwhile, Trainspotting author Welsh will appear at the festival to promote his new book Men in Love, which continues the stories of classic characters like Sick Boy, Renton and Spud. ‌ It will follow the Edinburgh gang as they try to leave heroin behind and pursue romance in the late 1980s and early 1990s. 'I'm really, really excited about bringing these characters back', Welsh previously said. "It was that time at the end of punk and just before acid house, it was that quite fallow time of Thatcherism,' when the 'end of history' thesis was popular, said Welsh. 'Of course, that's really been shown to be nonsense.' ‌ Book festival bosses said the theme of this year's event is "repair". Festival director Jenny Niven said: 'This year's key theme of Repair starts from the belief that the brilliant ideas of writers and thinkers can help us repair a host of seemingly 'broken' things in our society, from the cycle of fast fashion and our relationship with the environment, to cultural reparations and the state of our politics. 'It's a statement of hope and resilience, and an invitation for our audiences to think about what 'repair' might mean for them. 'At a time when important conversations can feel impossible to have without igniting conflict and anger, we want the Edinburgh International Book Festival to provide a safe place for challenging but considered discussions. ‌ 'This year our programme features over 600 writers and artists from 35 countries, who have a wide range of perspectives on topics of personal, social and global importance. 'We invite you to come and learn something new, feed your curiosity and to broaden your horizons.' John Swinney previously quipped he had no plans to write his own tell-all book as he was focused on his job running the Scottish Government. ‌ The First Minister was asked if he planned to read the memoir written by one of his closest SNP colleagues. "I've not got a copy of it as it's not been published yet - but I'm sure it will be a good read," he told reporters. Asked if he had ever heard Nicola Sturgeon talk 'Frankly' - as per the title of her memoir - Swinney said: "I'm sure I have... maybe on the odd occasion". Swinney added: "Just for absolute clarity - I have no immediate plans to write my memoirs, as I intend to be in office for a long time to come."

Former St Mirren kid joins Airdrie as boss hails 'exciting' signing with 'great footballing IQ'

The Diamonds have made their third summer signing Airdrieonians have announced their third summer signing with the arrival of former St Mirren academy kid Adam Aird. The 17-year-old midfielder has put pen to paper on a deal after training with the first team in the final few months of last season's Championship campaign. ‌ His performance have impressed player/boss Rhys McCabe and he sees similarities between Aird and current first team star Dean McMaster. ‌ McCabe said: 'Adam's an exciting young player who will be fully focused on transitioning into the first team. 'He's in a similar mould to Dean McMaster – mature beyond his years, technically gifted and has a great footballing IQ in the middle of the pitch. 'His attitude and hunger to improve will help him to fulfil his potential as a real exciting prospect for the future.' On his move, Adam said: 'I'm delighted to be here, I've thoroughly enjoyed the last few months training with the team. 'It's a great opportunity for me, and I can't wait to get started!' Aird's arrival comes off the back of ex-Hamilton Accies defender Sean McGinty joining last week and former Stranraer defender Craig Ross signing up late last month.
