Erling Haaland Responds to Roy Keane Chants in Manchester Derby Victory

Erling Haaland laughed off chants of ‘Keano’ from Manchester United fans during Manchester City’s 3-0 derby victory at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

City’s behemoth striker was at it again as City stormed to a convincing 3-0 victory at the home of their local rivals, scoring twice before setting up Phil Foden to wrap up a comfortable afternoon’s work and send his side up to third in the Premier League, two points behind current leaders Tottenham.

United fans had attempted to get under the skin of Norway international Haaland by chanting the name of former club captain Roy Keane before he stepped up to successfully put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot.

The chants were in clear reference to Keane’s clash with Haaland’s father Alf Inge in his playing days.

Alf Inge mocked Keane for suffering an injury while playing for Leeds back in 1997 and former Republic of Ireland international Keane later inflicted a career-ending blow to Haaland senior, then of Man City, in 2001.
