ROY KEANE wore a familiar stone-cold expression as he watched Salford side draw 1-1 with Crawley.
The Manchester United legend was in attendance at Moor Lane for the second time this month alongside former team-mate and Salford part-owner Nicky Butt.

Butt is part of the Project 92 Limited group, alongside David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary and Phil Neville, that part-owns Salford City.
The United legends axed boss Graham Alexander earlier this month after a disappointing start to the League Two campaign.
Scholes was put in charge temporarily but Keane’s continued presence at games has led to speculation he could take the full-time job.
And Salford’s uninspiring form continued on Saturday as Crawley’s George Francomb cancelled out former United striker James Wilson’s second-half opener.
The result leaves Salford eighth after eight games, with three wins, four draws and just one defeat.
A fortnight ago the Irishman, 49, was in the stands with Scholes and Gary Neville.
They watched Salford go 2-0 up early on but conceded twice – in the 86th and 93rd minutes – to draw 2-2 against Tranmere.

They lost 1-0 to Port Vale last Saturday but recovered to stuff Southend 3-0 in midweek.
Richie Wellens and Paul Cook are the current favourites for the permanent job.
But former Sunderland and Ipswich boss Keane is high on the list at 6-1, while Scholes is back at 25-1.
