Roy Keane gives more than he gets while on punditry duties for Sky Sports and the Manchester United favourite had to take some back while analysing Manchester City's game against West Ham.

After watching United slip to defeat against Brighton on Sunday afternoon - in their first match with Erik ten Hag taking charge - Keane promptly switched over to City mode as Pep Guardiola and his star-studded team got their latest title defence up and running. And they had their marquee summer signing to thank for that win.

Erling Haaland settled the scores against West Ham with a breathtaking double on his Premier League debut. He netted in each half at the London Stadium - including one from the penalty spot - with father Alf-Inge sat among those watching in the stands.

Of course, during their own playing careers, Keane and Haaland senior were embroiled in an infamous spat which culminated in Keane injuring the ex-City midfielder. It still rankles with fans on both halves of the city and Keane had to respond when ribbed about on the matter during a live broadcast.

When speaking about the younger Haaland and his match-winning double, Micah Richards aimed a light-hearted dig in Keane's direction.

Richards said: "I've never seen Roy so nervous. He (Alf-Inge) was waiting for Roy over there."

Keane added: "I think he's still waiting for me." At that stage, presenter David Jones quipped that Haaland senior was waiting to give Keane a lift home from the London Stadium.
