The First Manchester Derby of the Season Leaves a Mark
The first Manchester derby of the season held at Old Trafford not only left a resounding score in favor of Manchester City but also sparked controversy that has captured the attention of fans and experts alike. Following Pep Guardiola's team 0-3 victory over Manchester United, viral images started circulating showing the Spanish coach and Erling Haaland engaged in an intense conversation about the Norwegian's second goal. However, the peculiar behavior of both on the pitch did not go unnoticed by some of the 'Red Devils,' and former Manchester United player Roy Keane didn't hesitate to express his opinion.
Keane, now a commentator and an iconic figure in English football, was critical of what he considered "pure theater" by Guardiola and Haaland. In his statements, the Irishman lamented the attitude of both players on the field and questioned the need to prolong a conversation about a particular play for so long.
