Roy Keane dance video: Micah Richards mocks Man United legend 

Micah Richards took to Twitter to share a video of himself showing a funny Roy Keane dance video. His tweet suggested that it was the fans who insisted him to show a funny video to the Man United legend. And he found no better way than to show Keane's character's dance video. 

The video has been sourced from FIFA 21 in which Keane is seen performing the dance moves. The video, although from FIFA 21, was posted on video-sharing app TikTok.

Roy Keane comments appear harsh on Liverpool 

Following the Liverpool vs Man City clash, Keane tore into the defending Premier League champions on their dismal performance. Ilkay Gundogan missed a first-half penalty but struck twice in the other half. Besides, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling netted once each, while Mohamed Salah could pull back just one goal, from the spot. 

And Keane, while speaking on Sky Sports, described the Reds as poor champions. "You can lose a game of football but...I can't figure this group out. Looking at them, even during the week Brighton were comfortable, you can get beaten in a game - there's a way to be beaten. But I don't see that."

Liverpool carried away by hype: Roy Keane 

Keane believes Liverpool have been carried away by their hype over the past couple of seasons. After winning the title, a team should often question themselves if they could do it again all over. "I never got the impression from this squad/group, from their interviews, even from the manager last year when they won it were they saying 'What's the next step for Liverpool?' No. Almost let's enjoy this."
