Roy Keane was involved in a heated confrontation at Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Portman Road on Sunday.

Former United captain Keane was on pundit duties for Sky Sports when he approached an Ipswich supporter who had been challenging him. Keano, who managed Ipswich between 2009 and 2011, was seen leaving the presentation area where he had been standing with Kelly Cates, Izzy Christensen and Jamie Redknapp, to approach the supporter who had come down from the stands.

After a brief discussion during which Keane gestured back towards to the pitch he returned to the camera to sound of boos from the home fans. The Mail Online report that a man ran across from the upper tier of the stand to shout "F*** you Keane" to the Irishman as he was guided back into position by a member of the production team.

Keane departed Ipswich with them 21st in Championship in January 2011 after winning 28 of his 81 matches in charge.

Back in August, the former midfielder expressed his intention to retire from punditry within the next decade, citing the incident when he was headbutted by an Arsenal fan at the Emirates Stadium last season.

He said: "I love football, but the hassle of matches, getting to games, and the hassle of fans. I was in court a few months ago with somebody headbutting me do you think I enjoy that side of it? Absolutely not.

"The games are fine. Getting to the games, parking up, people shouting your name good stuff, bad stuff it's a nuisance. Being a pundit in 10 years, not."

Arsenal fan Scott Law from Essex was banned from entering a football ground for three years after the incident.

Keane and fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards had been making their way pitchside for post-match analysis when he was headbutted by Law.

A judge ruled Law had been "untruthful about what happened" and he was found guilty of assault. As well as the three-year banning order, he was ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work and pay legal costs of £650 plus a victim surcharge of £114.
