MANCHESTER UNITED new boy Sergio Reguilon has been blasted by Roy Keane – just hours after signing.
United legend Keane lashed out after watching Erik ten Hag’s players shaking hands with Arsenal players before the big game.
Before the Red Devils took on Arsenal at the Emirates, Reguilon made a bad first impression in the eyes of the hard Irishman.
The full-back, who joined United on loan from Tottenham on transfer deadline day, was spotted shaking hands with the Gunners’ captain Martin Odegaard inside the tunnel.
Fellow signing Andre Onana did the same with William Saliba and Aaron Ramsdale just before the two teams made their way to the pitch.
Keane insists this show of sportsmanship is best saved for after the full-time whistle.

That is because the two sides need to focus on the serious task at hand that will see them “kicking lumps out of each other”.
Keane told Sky Sports: “All jokes aside, I’m just looking at the tunnel there.
“Everyone thinks I’m old school but I don’t know why you’d want to be chatting to people when you’re about to go to battle because you’re going to be kicking lumps out of each other.
“So why shake? I’ll shake your hand after the game but not before you go into a battle.

“But listen, maybe these younger players will educate me.”
Arsenal hero Theo Walcott agreed with Keane as he also admitted he wasn’t feeling too friendly before kick-off.
Walcott said: “To be honest, I was never one to be saying hello massively.
“I get the goalkeeper side of it but bar that there’s no friends when you cross that line. There really isn’t.”
It didn’t turn out well for Manchester United, with the match finishing 3-1 to Arsenal after two late goals.
