Roy Keane was allegedly spotted swearing at some Manchester City supporters as they celebrated their victory over West Ham on Sunday.

The Manchester United legend was part of Sky Sports' punditry team at the London Stadium and had to put up with fair bit of taunting from the jovial away end.

Towards the end of the match, City fans close to the gantry were heard chanting: 'Keano, what's the score? Keano, Keano, what's the score?' – prompting the Irishman to apparently stick two fingers up at them, according to reporters there.

Manchester Evening News reporter Simon Bajkowski tweeted: "City fans turn their attention to the Sky pundits watching the game: 'Keano, what's the score?' Roy Keane puts two fingers up in response."

Confusingly, the score was actually 2-0 at the time, so there's every chance Keane's response was an answer to what he perceived to be a genuine question from the City faithful … though we very much doubt it.

All in all it was an awful day for the 50-year-old. He had to sit through United's dismal opening day defeat to Brighton before watching rivals City blow West Ham away with their new superstar striker Erling Haaland – the man who nearly joined United back in 2020.

Where would Man Utd finish in the Premier League with Roy Keane as manager? Let us know in the comments section below.

The big Norwegian bagged a brace to put Pep Guardiola's side on the front foot in the title race, especially with Liverpool dropping points against Fulham on Saturday.

Earlier in the day, Keane said United looked "very fragile" and lambasted midfield duo Fred and Scott McTominay for being "all over the place".

"Man United look very, very fragile, same problems, question the personality in the team, the problem is out of possession they look so open," the former midfielder said. "The two in the middle of the park, all over the place. Out of possession Man United are as poor as any team in the Premier League."

Daily Star Sport has approached Keane's representatives for a response.
