Erik ten Hag had a priceless response when Roy Keane asked for complimentary tickets for the Carabao Cup final.
Manchester United booked their spot in the Carabao Cup final after beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Wednesday (5-0 on aggregate).
The Red Devils will meet Eddie Howe's Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium on February 26th for the first piece of domestic silverware of the season.
And it appears Keane is eager to be in London for the showdown, having hilariously asked Ten Hag for 'spare' tickets during his post-match interview.

"No problem," the Dutch boss brilliantly replied as he laughed with the former Man United captain.
Presenter Mark Chapman apologised on the behalf of Keane in a hilarious moment.
Speaking after guiding his team to their first final since taking charge last summer, Ten Hag bemoaned the first half as he praised his side's showing in the second half.
"Of course, when you win a semi-final it's OK," he said. "The first half wasn't great to be honest. I thought it was professional but too slow and we didn't create too many chances.
"We allowed them to. The second half was much better, more tempo and we made some good goals."
Ten Hag added: "We were 3-0 up so I didn't want to give them momentum. They were waiting for one chance to get into the game. We were searching for gaps but I think Forest played well, defended compact and we didn't find the gaps.
"I don't think we were frustrated but we had to be a little bit smart. You don't want to give anything away so keep the ball. We should have done more investment like quicker switches and movement in behind.
"We just want to improve every day. I think we have a good squad so we have to demand and control the high standards. You have to bring that every game. We are Man United. When you are a United player you have to match the standards."
