Roy Keane had a priceless reaction to a fan attempting to hug him before the Community Shield match on Saturday.

Premier League winners Manchester City and FA Cup winners Manchester United are involved in the traditional season curtain-raiser.

The match is being shown live on ITV, meaning Keane and Ian Wright are at Wembley on punditry duty for the broadcaster.

After walking onto the Wembley turf, Wright was met by content creator Harry Pinero, who shared an embrace with the Arsenal legend.

Pinero's friend, fellow content creator CultureCams, then introduced himself to Keane by shaking the Irishman's hand.

He then slowly moved into an embrace with the United legend, who didn't really know what to do with himself.

Take a look below.

Keane has previously shown his own disdain for opposition players hugging each other before games, and first did so after spotting David De Gea and Alisson doing so before a Premier League clash between United and Liverpool in 2019.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "I'm disgusted with players. You're going to war.

"They're hugging, and kissing. Don't even look at the opposition - you're going to battle against them."

His stance softened slightly last year when he saw former Aston Villa team-mates Jack Grealish and Ross Barkley embrace before a match between City and Luton.

"Not for me," he said. "But we're all different."

On the pitch itself, neither United and City have fielded a first team XI, with several players unavailable from each side due to injury or rest.

Nico O'Reilly has been handed his senior debut by Pep Guardiola in perhaps the most notable selection, while Lisandro Martinez is at left-back for United as Luke Shaw is yet to be available after his Euro 2024 participation with England and Tyrell Malacia is not yet fully fit.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is close to a move to West Ham, has not been selected by Erik ten Hag.
