The 43-year-old has been charged with common assault and is due to appear at Highbury Magistrates’ Court on March 14.

Law, who is married with children, allegedly went for Keane on September 3 last year.

Keane and fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards were waiting by a lift at the North London stadium when the incident unfolded.

The Utd legend had celebrated a last-minute goal from Alejandro Garnacho, which was later ruled off-side.
