Roy Keane bit back at an Ipswich fan who was abusing him moments before he went back on air in the wake of Manchester United’s 1-1 draw at Portman Road.

Keane, along with fellow Sky Sports pundits Jamie Redknapp and Izzy Christiansen, were receiving final instructions from producers to come back out of an ad-break before the Man United legend set off to confront one particular fan, who had stayed behind to goad him.

The former Man United captain, who managed Ipswich between 2009 and 2011, put down his microphone, placed his hands in his pockets and walked over to confront the fan directly before a heated back-and-forth ensued.

Many Ipswich fans spewed insults in Keane’s direction with one man in the upper tier rushing across to shout: ‘F*** you Keane!’

Keane was guided back to the broadcast by a member of the production team as the fan appeared to revel in getting a rise out of the Sky pundit.

The former Republic of Ireland midfielder held a heated and tense relationship with some Ipswich supporters during his reign at the club – and once admitted that his feud with the fans spurred him on.

Before becoming one of Sky Sports’ most recognisable pundits, Keane carved out a career in management during the 2000s and early 2010s, first coaching Sunderland for two years before moving to Portman Road in 2009.

At Ipswich, the now 53-year-old won just 28 of his 81 matches in charge, losing the same number and drawing 25, and dropped as low as 21st in the Championship prior to his dismissal back in January 2011.

Keane’s incident with the fan came moments after Ruben Amorim kicked off his Red Devils reign with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Ipswich.
