Manchester United icon Roy Keane was in his element during an American football match, after a fan asked for a selfie while he was watching the game.

Keane, 51, is renowned for his fiery personality and aggressive playing style during his playing days, and he seemed to have carried that into punditry and interaction with fans.

Kean captained United in one of its most successful eras in the 1990s. However, according to the Guardian, a row with the great Sir Alex Ferguson forced him to exit the club unceremoniously in 2005.

Still, the United faithful gave him an emotional goodbye in 2006 after a testimonial match versus Celtic.

Keane furious after fans asks for a selfie

On Sunday evening, the former Republic of Ireland international was quietly enjoying an American football match but was interrupted by a fan asking for a selfie, according to GiveMeSport.

He did not like it. In a video doing rounds on social media, Keane was fuming after the incident and looked like he was telling the fans he was watching a game and had no time for selfies.

Moments later, fans booed him inside the stadium after his face appeared on the big screen.

Keane made 473 appearances for Man United, scoring 51 goals and winning seven Premier League titles and a Champions League, according to transfermarkt.

Rooney believes Ronaldo should retire

Sports Brief earlier reported on United legend Wayne Rooney saying that the time could be ripe for Cristiano Ronaldo to hang his boots because 'time catches up with us all'.

United's all-time top scorer suggested Ronaldo should consider calling time on his football career following the forward's ongoing struggles.

Ronaldo has endured a difficult start to the season, which has seen him lose his place in Erik ten Hag's first team. However, he scored his first league goal on Sunday.
