ROY KEANE has given a rare glimpse into his family life – in a break from his usual hardman act.
The former Manchester United star ended his lengthy Instagram hiatus earlier this year by posting a snap of himself with old pal Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
In his latest post the Irishman, 53, shared a heartwarming picture of himself with daughter Leah.
Keane has five children with wife Theresa Doyle; Shannon, Caragh, Aidan, Leah and Alanna.
He often refers to Leah as “No.4”, due to her being his fourth child.
After making a 180-mile trip to visit her, Keane beamed for a picture with Leah, as they both sat on the sofa.

He captioned the snap: “No.4 thinks because she lives 180 miles away that I won’t pop in for a cup of tea. Always watching.”
Fans loved Keane’s post, which has received nearly 300,000 likes.
Plenty also rushed to leave a comment.
One joked: “Any boyfriends biggest nightmare.”

While another laughed: “Imagine meeting a nice girl. Them saying my parents want to meet you. You knock on the door and Roy Keane answers. The f***ing panic you’d feel for about 15 seconds would be monumental.”
A third joked: “I love the way he numbers his kids.”
And a fourth added: “That looks like a smile to me Roy, I thought they were overrated?!”
Keane recently had pals Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright in stitches during the latest episode of The Overlap on Tour.
As they drove around Rome, making conversation, Keane said: “I’d like to do a rally thing, drive a proper car.
“Would you like to do that lads? Around a track?”
After a brief pause, Neville cut in: “We’re not filming like, but…”
Mimicking hurt feelings, Keane replied: “So we can only chat when we’re filming?
“Okay, I thought we’d have a chat as friends… Jesus, sorry – I apologise.
“Camera, action, let’s pretend we like each other.”
