And when it comes to a motor, the Sky Sports pundit looks for something equally as reliable.
From his trusted first car – a Ford Escort Hatchback worth about £2,000 to an Aston Martin he splashed the cash on when the Red Devils won the Treble, he’s had a vast garage.
SunSport takes a look at what Roy has been seen behind the wheel of.
Aston Martin DB7
In 1999, soon after Keane became a Treble winner with United, he treated himself to a flashy custom-pained gold Aston Martin.

He opted for a DB7, which ironically was never in a James Bond film because it wasn’t deemed cool enough.
But, looking at it we have to argue. It boasts a 3.2 litre engine, black leather interior, and automatic gearbox.
In 2020, the car appeared on Auto Trader for sale at a modest £24,000 – with just 60,000 miles on the clock.
Bentley Continental
In around 2005, Keane reportedly drove a classy Bentley Continental.

Today, you can pick a model up from that year for between £18,000 to £24,000.
But Keano would have paid far more than that – and north of £80,000
After selling it to a showroom in Edinburgh, it was reportedly stolen by joyriders and later recovered.

Ford Escort Hatchback
Roy’s first car was a trusted Ford Escort Hatchback in the 1990s.
It was frequently the best selling motor in the 1980s and 1990s, with an astonishing 4.1 million of them sold through three decades .
The Escort was succeeded by the Focus in 1998 and gradually phased out of production.
Given it was a sensible option, you can imagine his first top-flight boss Brian Clough would have approved.

Mercedes C-Class
Towards his later years at Old Trafford, Roy was seen driving a classy Mercedes into Carrington.
The C-Class oozed luxury and comfortability, and was at an affordable range when it was released of around £30,000.
That, obviously, made it a gateway into many car enthusiasts first taste of a Merc.
Although, they weren’t zippy. They’d go no faster in a 0-60 mph sprint than between 5-11.5 seconds, depending on the model.

Toyota Yaris
It’s not known if Roy owned it.
But, back in August the kind-hearted TV pundit donated a £27,000 Toyota Yaris to a hospice in Co Cork.
He told staff he would foot the bill for it to be auctioned off in a raffle.
“Roy Keane’s incredible generosity means the world to us here,” said Enid Conway, fundraising and marketing manager at Marymount Hospice.
“A huge community of people receive the special care delivered by Marymount. It is inspiring to see this acknowledged by anyone wishing to support what we do.
“Marymount is a unique and essential force of care for families in Cork and further afield.
“We are sincerely thankful for Roy’s gesture and the positive impact it will have for those in our care and their families. It really is a wonderful act of kindness.”

Range Rover
You’re not a footballer, or haven’t been in football, if you haven’t owned a Range Rover.
Roy owned an expensive £80,000 Sport model, but didn’t have much joy with it in 2016.

In an unfortunate incident, he was taking the SUV through a car wash at a Shell garage in Altrincham, when the machine stopped and trapped his vehicle.
Luckily there was no damage, but Roy was reportedly fuming.

Cristiano Ronaldo boasts a car collection worth £19million
Ronaldo’s £9m Bugatti Centodieci has appeared in Saudi Arabia
Bought in 2021, the Centodieci is the most expensive car in Ronaldo’s collection
His staggering net worth – believed to be more than £500m – means he can continually add to his garage.
With some of his money, he has continued to build on his impressive fleet – estimated to be worth around £19million.
The pick of the bunch is a £9million Bugatti, that is one of only 10 ever made.
While he also loves a Range Rover as his family car.

SunSport takes a look at some motors decorating his amazing garage.
Bugatti Centodieci, £9m
Back in 2021, CR7 added the most extravagant and expensive car to his collection.
The £9million Centodieci boasts an 8 litre W16 engine, with special models having 1600hp – some 100hp more than the Chiron and, overall, three times the price of that model.
It can do 0-62mph in just 2.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 236mph.

His Centodieci has been spotted in Saudi.
Ronaldo was recently seen in Riyadh behind the wheel of Range Rover’s new SUV.
Bigger than the Evoque, but smaller than the Sport, it’s the perfect family car for the forward.
It’s electric, so it’s good for the environment.
It’s acceleration is quite slouchy though, measuring 0-62mph from 5.4 seconds.
This stunning Range Rover Velar is now part of Ronaldo’s Middle East fleet
Aston Martin DBS, £200k
When Ronaldo played for Manchester United, he turned heads at Carrington as he rocked up to the gates in an amazing Aston Martin DBS Superleggera convertible.
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera boasts a 5.2 litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, providing a mind-boggling 715 hp.
It has a top speed of 211mph, and can also go from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds.
The car was certainly a worthy addition to Ronaldo’s stunning motor collection.

Mercedes G-Wagon Brabus, £600
What do you buy your boyfriend if he has everything?
Well, if you’re Georgina Rodriguez you get a massive, gift-wrapped Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The gorgeous former shop assistant made sure CR7’s had the best birthday ever for his 35th – gifting him a stunning Mercedes G Wagon Brabus that can cost as much £600,000.
And the brilliant SUV can reach top speeds of 137mph.
This customised Mercedes G-Wagon was gifted to Ronaldo by Wag Georgina Rodriguez
Bugatti Chiron, £2.15m
In 2017, Ronaldo’s need for speed saw the mercurial forward splash the cash on a stunning silver Bugatti Chiron.
Incredibly, it can reach speeds of 260 mph, and does 0-60 in just under 2.5 seconds.
As we said, he likes two of everything – and this was the second Bugatti he bought, although he denied buying a third  – the Bugatti La Voiture Noire.
That was reckoned to be the most expensive car in the world EVER at £9.49million, and was snapped up by a mystery buyer.
In 2017, Ronaldo bought a Bugatti Chiron – now worth over £2m
Bugatti Veyron, £1.7m
Only 450 Veyron 16.4 Grand Sports were built, so of course Ronaldo wanted a slice of that rarity pie.
It cost him £1.7m, and the Portuguese legend bought the car as a treat after winning Euro 2016 with his country.
Though the car was involved in a crash in 2022 in Majorca. The driver, who was reportedly not Ronaldo, lost control and the car skidded into a wall.
The front of the Bugatti was believed to have been wrecked with investigators revealed no other vehicle was involved.
The driver of the car did not suffer any injuries and signed an accident report.

Lamborghini Aventador, £260k
Simply because a Bugatti Veyron won’t fulfil Ronaldo’s love of fast cars, in the same year he bought that motor he splashed on a Lamborghini Aventador.
Made in 2011, it’s the most celebrated model by the Italian car designer – and owned by footballers all over the world, not scared of the outlandish price.
Ronaldo celebrated his purchase on Instagram in 2016, with a picture with the caption: “Bom dia (good morning)”.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan, £330k
In 2020, Ronaldo added a Cullinan to his collection, having previously owned a Rolls Royce Phantom worth around £363,000.
Showing his loyalty to his new employers, CR7 even personalised the interior with black and white leather.
Standing at five metres long, the Cullinan boasts a V12 engine and a horse power of 571.
It is the only SUV Rolls Royce have ever produced.
CR7 is a huge fan of Rolls-Royce and has a stunning Cullinan
Ferrari F12 TDF, £350K
In 2017, Ronaldo bought an F12 TDF – another collector’s item with only 799 made in the world.
It is certainly one of the favourites he owns, and is zippy with a top speed of 211 mph, and capable of doing 0-62 in 2.9 seconds.
Needless to say, pet-friendly Ronaldo won’t let his pooches in though.
A lover of supercars, this amazing Ferrari costs £350k
Chevrolet Camaro, £35k
Maybe he learned something from Sir Alex Ferguson about American cars, after all the former Manchester United boss drove a Chevrolet to training when he was Red Devils manager.
A more economic motor than others in his garage, the Camaro has a 6.2-litre V8 engine that delivers 453 horsepower.
It’s cheaper than anything else he owns, and was bought in 2016 as a family car.
Showing that he doesn’t have to always drive flashy cars, Ronaldo was seen in an affordable Chevrolet

McLaren Senna, £1m
A car made as a dedication to the legendary Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, it would’ve set Ronaldo back around £1million – with only 500 models ever made.
So enamoured by its performance on Top Gear, former presenter Jeremy Clarkson said of the McLaren Senna it has ‘rewritten the supercar rule book’.

The Spaniard left Manchester United behind after appearing in 545 games.
During this time he won eight trophies with the Red Devils.

From a stunning British classic to a striking red sports car, De Gea boasts an impressive collection.
SunSport has taken a look at the various set of wheels the Spaniard owns.

BRITISH CLASSIC

After spending 12 years in England with Man Utd, it would make sense for De Gea to buy into some of Britain’s culture.
And that is exactly what petrol head De Gea did.
He took up the cream of the crop by getting himself an Aston Martin Vantage.
Back in 2019, De Gea brought himself the two-door sports car and was spotted in town with it alongside partner Edurne Gacria Almagro.

The sleek car can reach top speeds between 195mph to 200mph – not far off Aston Martin’s Formula One car.
The motor will set you back a cool £125,000.
Benz Your Ear

Standing at 6ft 4in, De Gea needs to ensure he has plenty of leg room in his cars.
This means he often takes an SUV on his outings.
His SUV of choice is the Mercedes GLE, which starts at around £76,000.
De Gea was spotted giving a lift to Juan Mata when the pair played at the club.
The Vito is able able to go from 0-60mph in just 6.6 seconds.
So you would have good money on him getting wherever he wants to on time.
American dream

When Manchester United were sponsored by American car manufacturer Chevrolet, United reportedly told their players to drive cars made by them to keep their shirt sponsor happy.
De Gea did not need a second invitation and jumped at the chance to add to his car collection.
He was soon seen driving around in two Chevrolet cars.
The first saw him add another SUV in the form of a Captiva, which can reach up to £24,000.
However, De Gea was not done there, and soon added a second Chevrolet sponsored ride.
The second time he opted for a Camaro, a two-door sports car which can fetch between £27,000 and £31,000 depending on whether it is a Coupe or Convertible variant.
Although with United’s sponsorship with Chevrolet long gone, it is likely that De Gea no longer owns these cars.
Red Devil

Throughout his Old Trafford career, De Gea was persistently linked with a transfer away from the club.
However, one dodgy fax machine completely changed this trajectory.
And his Real Madrid transfer links came with a spice of irony when he was seen leaving Hale village’s La Vina Spanish Restaurant with a Ausi RS5 in 2015.
De Gea went for a bright red with the car to spruce up his options, matching the colours of Man Utd.
The car can fetch a cool £73,000 on the market.
But when the car – said to be a favourite of Real Madrid and Barcelona stars – is capable of reaching a top speed of 155.3mph, you would be expected to pay a pretty penny.

De Gea did not round of his car collection with just one piece of Mercedes engineering prowess.
Instead, the shot-stopper added a Mercedes-Benz Vito to his garage.
In 2018 he was seen in the passenger seat of the SUV as missus Edurne drove around.
The minivan has been owned by a number of footballers, including Raheem Sterling, Alvaro Morata and Jake Livermore.

Prices for the van start from a retail price of £36,000 and can climb all the way to £62,000 depending on the configuration of the vehicle.

Kane, 30, left boyhood club Tottenham with one year remaining on his contract, feeling the need for a new challenge abroad.
In his car collection, however, he’ll be bringing a bit of Blighty to Munich – even if he won’t be allowed to drive all of them to training.
Bayern have had a lucrative sponsorship deal with German manufacturer Audi dating back to 2002.
Players and staff even receive a plush Audi model of their choice upon joining.

Kane plumped for a practical £58k black Q8 e-tron upon joining from Spurs last month.
He will be expected to drive it to training at Sabener Strasse and matches at Allianz Arena.
Failure to do so could land him in hot water – just ask Kingsley Coman.
The French winger got himself in trouble back in 2020 for driving his £174k McLaren into training – and wasn’t even allowed into the complex, instead having to park on the street.

He was then reportedly slapped with a hefty £43,500 fine for his misstep.
Other car brands within the Volkwagon group are deemed acceptable, however, so Kane would be okay in a Bentley, Bugatti or Porsche.
On why he chose the e-tron, he explained: “I decided on a family car. Now that I have four children, I just need the space.”
He quickly took one of his own motors out for a whirl after arriving in Germany, adding: “I’ve already tried, but of course not with the new car.”
TREATING HIMSELF
Kane does own a Bentley, which he will be allowed to whizz into training in, should he wish.
He bought a Continental GT Supersports back in 2020, and was amazed to see that then-team-mate Dele Alli had just bought the same model.
The striker said of the £212k motor at the time: “I’ve just bought a Bentley Supersports.
“I thought I’d treat myself to a sports car. I was looking at most of them really, but because I play golf I wanted something with a bit of room, nothing too low, something a bit different.
“They are only making 710 of them. I’ve gone for white with black wheels. It’s a beautiful, beautiful car. It’s my first real sports car.”
He also admitted that if he’s feeling frivolous after a big triumph, he may even dabble with something even fancier in future.
Kane added: “Down the line, maybe if I win a few trophies, I can treat myself to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.”
BEST OF BRITISH
As Three Lions skipper, few things make Kane prouder than being British.
And in the spirit of this, he owns a £99k Land Rover and £35k Jaguar F-Pace.
He beamed: “Just to be associated with that British stamp is something that I’m proud of.”
“I pretty much love that Jag. It’s not too big, not too small, it fits our little daughter and the dogs.
“It’s a family car with a sporty edge. It’s not like you’re embarrassed to drive it as a dad. You’re happy to drive it. It looks nice and it’s not too expensive. It’s been great for me so far.”
He went on to continue: “After a game or training, you just want to get in a nice car and chill.
“I had a Range Rover Sport before that. Loved that. I just wanted the bigger version.”
COMPANY CARS
While Kane went for the comfort of the £58k Audi Q8 e-tron upon joining Bayern, many of his new team-mates opted for something more expensive.
Twelve stars selected the £120k Audi RS e-tron GT, including the likes of Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Joshua Kimmich.
Leon Goretzka also went for the £120k model, but opted for a silky purple rather than black.
On getting the hang of driving in Germany, Kane joked: “‘I’ll slowly get used to the fact that the steering wheel is on the other side.
“So far I haven’t had a crash, that’s a positive thing.”

SON STILL SHINES
Kane wasn’t the only Spurs player last season with a stunning car collection.
His old pal and Ange Postecoglou’s new skipper Son Heung-min also has an enviable fleet.
The South Korean superstar owns an ultra-rare Ferrari LaFerrari worth an eye-watering £1,150,000 – with only 499 of them having been made.
While he also has an Audi R8 Coupe, Maserati Levante, Range Rover and Bentley Continental.
Son, 31, drove an Audi R8 during his Bundesliga days – and would have looked right at home at Sabener Strasse doing so.
While he was gifted Maserati’s first ever SUV, worth £60,000.
Korea’s official Maserati importer wrote in a statement that their new car: “Might be the most matching vehicle to Son, who can play with delicacy and unstoppable power.”
As has become customary for Prem footballers, Son also has a £31k Range Rover that he has been seen cruising into Spurs training in.
