Fan complains Roy Keane was 'argumentative' when signing ball for his kid

Keane was more than happy to sign the ball but the fan still complained about the former Manchester United captain's 'behaviour.'

Roy Keane accused of being 'argumentative' by one fans, despite stopping to sign the supporter's son's football outside of Wembley.

There's very little in the world that Keane seems to enjoy than an argument, and he's used to showing that off live on television when he's being a pundit.

The former Manchester United captain was more than happy to team up with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to argue with ex teammate Gary Neville recently, with Arsenal's title challenge the subject of their debate.

He does also have the ability to leave his Sky Sports colleagues in fits of laughter, as he did when recently calling Andrew Robertson a 'baby,' but more often than not it's arguing where the Irishman feels most at home.

Keane also isn't famed for his delight at interacting with the public, as one fan found out when asking for a selfie during an NFL game last year.

On the weekend, one fan asked for an autograph from the 51-year-old outside of Wembley, which Keane obliged, as you can see in the video below.

The former Sunderland manager was initially unimpressed that the kid asking for an autograph had brought a ball to the game, literally asking 'why have your brought a ball to a game.'

Keane then asked what the boy's name was, which didn't get an answer until the boy's father, who was filming the incident came up to argue.

At that point the former footballer asked for the camera to be turned off, which he needed to repeat twice before the father eventually obliged.

The retired footballer clearly still signed the ball, despite not being too impressed, but that didn't stop him from getting criticised.

On TikTok, the voice over claimed that the ex Celtic star had been 'very argumentative' after the camera had gone off, and was accused of being unfriendly.

The pundit had been on duty at England's national stadium for the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Sheffield United on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's side were victorious, earning their place in June's final with a 3-0 win over their Championship opponents, and setting up an all Manchester final.

Manchester United's win over Brighton the following day, means it'll be the first Manchester derby in a major final, and the game will have to kick off at 3pm, the first time the final's been in that slot for over a decade.
