Manchester United legend Roy Keane, 52, surprised fans by wearing an Arsenal shirt while covering Euro 2024 in Germany. Keane, who spent 12 years with United from 1993 to 2005 and won 17 trophies, is a revered figure at Old Trafford. His brief switch of allegiance left Gunners icon Ian Wright visibly stunned.

Wright quipped, “It suits you. Man United fans are gonna do their nut!” Keane also revealed a matching shirt with ‘Wright 8’ on the back, indicating a playful gesture. During his playing career, Keane harbored intense animosity towards Arsenal. He once said, “I had a lot of hatred for Arsenal because they were big rivals. I can’t think of any other word that springs to mind when I was going into battle with Arsenal. Hatred was the word.”

Despite this past animosity, Keane has formed a strong camaraderie with Wright. They both feature on the “Stick to Football” podcast and collaborate for ITV Sport. The reason for Keane donning the Arsenal shirt remains unclear, though fans speculate it could be a forfeit or related to his podcast duties.
