Roy Keane was involved in a heated confrontation with an Ipswich Town fan after the draw with Manchester United at Portman Road.

Keane was in attendance to provide punditry for Sky Sports on two clubs he was previously employed by, having won seven Premier League titles with United before later managing Ipswich for just short of two years between 2009 and 2011.

The Irishman won 28 of his 81 games in charge of the Tractor Boys and did not have a particularly positive relationship with a large section of the club's fanbase.

And that was evident on Sunday, with footage filmed in an ad-break and posted by the Daily Mail showing Keane putting his microphone down and his hands in his pockets before walking over to confront a fan who had been hurling abuse.

After a brief back and forth, Keane was then led back to the panel's pitchside position and calmly waited for the programme to resume.


According to a report from the Daily Mail, one fan had rushed down from the upper tier to shout, "F*** you Keane!" at him.

In a second video, filmed much closer to the exchange, a supporter appeared to tell Keane, "You're a better pundit than you are a manager!".

In response, the 53-year-old said: "I’ll wait for you in the car park and we can discuss it!" as security tried to diffuse the situation.

At the very end, Keane's fellow pundit Jamie Redknapp came over and could be heard telling supporters to "Just leave it".

In June, a man was found guilty of common assault against Keane after an alleged headbutt when Keane was doing punditry for Arsenal's win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in September 2023.

CCTV footage shared online showed punditry partner Micah Richards stepping into defend Keane, who said he was left "in shock" by the clash.

Keane claimed he suffered bruising on his arms and chest as a result of the altercation.

Scott Law, 43, was handed a 12-month community order as well as being banned from football grounds for three years and forced to pay costs of £650 and a £114 victim surcharge.

Sky Sports declined to comment when approached by SPORTbible.
