Roy Keane, the former Manchester United midfielder, made headlines during his punditry duties for ITV during the quarter-final showdown between Manchester United and Liverpool.
Alongside him were Liverpool legend Graeme Souness and ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright, with Mark Pougatch hosting the coverage.
Manchester United's Victory and Drama at Old Trafford
Manchester United secured a spot in the FA Cup semi-final with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. The match saw Manchester United take an early lead through Scott McTominay, only to fall behind after quick goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah before halftime.
Despite facing adversity, Manchester United staged a stunning comeback with a late goal from Amad Diallo. However, Diallo was shown a second yellow card amid the celebrations. The drama continued as Erik ten Hag's side equalized through Antony to force extra-time, before Marcus Rashford leveled the score again after Harvey Elliott restored Liverpool's lead.
Keane's Unusual Interaction with Fred the Red
During a break in the action, Roy Keane's interaction with the Manchester United mascot, Fred the Red, drew attention. As Fred approached Keane and offered a high-five, Keane remained entirely motionless, ignoring the gesture. Undeterred, the mascot attempted a hug, which Keane also did not reciprocate, much to the amusement of Graeme Souness, who smirked next to them.
ITV's Light-Hearted Response
ITV's social media account took note of Keane's typically no-nonsense demeanor and found humor in the situation. On the platform formerly known as Twitter, the broadcaster quipped, 'No high fives from Keano, even if you are Fred the Red.' This playful response added an extra layer of amusement to the incident.
