Roy Keane: Man Utd legend refused captain's armband vs Liverpool

Roy Keane was part of the Manchester United Legends side that took on Liverpool at Anfield.

The two northern rivals met on Saturday afternoon and it was the Merseyside club’s team of icons that emerged victorious by a scoreline of 2-1.

Dimitar Berbatov opened the scoring with a marvellous early strike, before Mark Gonzalez equalised – his second goal in two matches against United Legends.

The winner was scored by Florent Sinama-Pongolle late on, which will have been a sweet moment for him personally after he came off injured in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford.

Keane had to wait until the 75th minute to enter the fray and as he stood on the touchline waiting to come on, the Irishman was given a rather hostile welcome by the Anfield crowd.

They’ve clearly not forgotten his countless heated battles against Liverpool as a professional player…

Yeah, Keane’s still not the most popular figure on Merseyside, which is certainly understandable given his ties to United.

The man himself won’t care about that one bit either and just seconds after entering the Anfield pitch, the Sky Sports pundit went ‘full Roy Keane’.

Keane was approached by his former teammate Ronny Johnsen and kindly offered the captain’s armband, but he was in no mood to take it.

The former Ireland international jokingly pushed Johnson away, before having a little chinwag with Quinton Fortune.

Fittingly, the commentator on duty said: “Is that the most Roy Keane thing ever?”

Fair play, Keano.

The 51-year-old is widely regarded as one of United’s greatest ever captains. He was first given the armband by Sir Alex Ferguson in 1997 and held on to it all the
