      Sky Sports investigate Roy Keane row with Ipswich fan with bosses set to talk to fellow pundits Jamie Redknapp and Co

      by

      SKY SPORTS chiefs have asked Roy Keane’s pundit pals to help them investigate the former Ireland midfielder’s scrape with a fan.Keane was on post-match pitchside duty after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich when he was verbally accosted by a home supporter.Sky Sports chiefs are investigating Roy Keane’s apparent row with an Ipswich fanCredit: https://x.com/adenLFC4lifeKeane’s fellow pundit pals have been asked for their accounts of the incidentThe former Portman Road boss, who had two seasons in charge of the Suffolk side, was angered by the comments and caught on camera telling his verbal assailant “I’ll wait for you in the car park”.Ipswich security staff then intervened to take the supporter away.Yesterday, Ipswich fan Neil Finbow claimed on social media that he had been the subject of Keane’s ire.In his Facebook account, Finbow wrote: “New claim to fame – just been offered out into the carpark by Roy Keane after a few choice words.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“Even Jamie Redknapp had to come over to get him away – just ya average Sunday evening out.”Responding to a comment, he then allegedly wrote: “I was reminding him that he set us back five years and ruined our football club. I also mentioned how he wasn’t fit to step foot anywhere near our ground [Portman Road].”Oh, and I mentioned about him walking out on a World Cup and breaking Haaland’s leg and putting it in his autobiography.”I hate the bloke, and that’s been boiling up since he got sacked all those years ago.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSFinbow went on to write in a further comment: “The truth hurts, mate. I feel sick when I look at him.”He went on to say that Keane argued with another fan and that his car park comment may have been taken out of context.He told the Daily Mail: “The argument all stemmed from an issue with his children. The fan’s issue was about getting autographs back in the day when he was the manager here. The guy was basically saying Roy Keane ruled with fear. “You could see him pointing to the car park because that is where the autographs were done, and that’s where he had the issue with Roy all those years ago. So, it makes sense they were pointing over there.”He added: “What Roy said back could have been misconstrued. He might have wanted to talk in the car park as that’s where it all happened.”It’s hard to tell. But yeah, he could have meant ‘I’ll talk to you in the car park,’ but it came across as if he was inviting him out [for a fight].”Man Utd player ratings vs Ipswich Former Ipswich boss Keane clashed with the fan after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw at Portman RoadThe fan posted details of their conversation on social mediaCredit: https://x.com/adenLFC4lifeIt was the second incident involving Keane and supporters in 15 months.In June, Arsenal fan Scott Law was given a three-year banning order by magistrates and ordered to pay £764 after butting Keane after a dispute in a lounge at the Emirates Stadium after the Gunners’ win over United in September.READ MORE SUN STORIESSky Sports executives have now asked Keane’s pundit duty colleagues – Redknapp, Izzy Christensen and presenter Kelly Cates – as well as production staff on duty to give their accounts of the incident so that a full picture can be given.At this stage, though, Sun Sport understands that no further action is expected while there have been no internal discussions about Keane being given extra security support in future.Amorim needs A LOT of time on training pitch to fix Man Utd… unfortunately he won’t get it, writes Charlie WyettIN theory at least, the only way is up for Manchester United, writes Charlie Wyett.We are nearly a third of the way through this Premier League season and it is still staggering to see United lurking in 12th place.They have managed just four wins with a goal difference of 0. Only Everton, Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored less.It is certainly not a false position and a point at Ipswich illustrated the massive job that Ruben Amorim faces.United’s fans sang the name of their new manager throughout the game.They also gave the players rapturous applause on the final whistle and although this was an improvement on some of the performances this season, the bar has been set pretty low.The club’s optimistic supporters will see that their team is only six points off the top four.  Ultimately, though, it is difficult to see United even reaching last season’s final position of eighth as they look worse.United’s patched-up defence will improve – and a three-man formation at the back will help them – but you have to wonder where the goals are going to come from. Marcus Rashford struck after 81 seconds and then went missing for the rest of his 68 minutes on the pitch.Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee were also introduced in that double change midway inside the second half but added absolutely nothing. What a terrible couple of signings they have proved to be and United’s fans would swap both of them for Ipswich’s Liam Delap.Amorim did not celebrate the Rashford goal and paced around his technical area throughout looking uneasy.Each time there was a break in play, he called over players for instructions.Alejandro Garnacho headed over to the touchline on a couple of occasions while there were also words for Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Jonny Evans.Amorim, a manager with infectious enthusiasm, will be hopeful he can get his message across to all of the players in the next few weeks.But the problem for the Portuguese coach is that this was the first of 10 games in the space of 33 days.What he really needs are spells on the training ground without a midweek game but he does not have that luxury.

      KSI’s manager proposes never-before-seen rules for Jake Paul fight with ‘take-it-or-leave it’ offer

      by

      KSI’S manager is ready to go to never-before-seen lengths in a bid to get a fight with Jake Paul over the line. The pair of YouTubers-turned-boxers have spent years feuding but have yet to strike a deal for what would be a blockbuster grudge bout. KSI and Jake Paul have failed to come to terms for a fightCredit: GettyJake Paul moved up to heavyweight to fight Mike TysonCredit: GettyStanding in the way of what has been dubbed a £100MILLION match-up is the weight difference between them. Paul, 27, moved up to heavyweight to beat boxing great Mike Tyson, 58, in their controversial Netflix showdown. The American bulked up to 227lb (16st 2lb), while KSI’s last fight was at 183lb – over THREE STONE lighter.So KSI’s manager Mams Taylor – co-founder of Misfits Boxing – is ready to flip a coin to decide where the bout takes place. READ MORE IN BOXINGTaylor told SunSport in Doha: “I feel like he has a big enough name certainly where he can fight at whatever weight he wants and there’s always going to be someone.”But obviously the Jake fight is something we’ve wanted and there was talk of a coin toss, we said, ‘Fine, let’s do a coin toss.'”But the weights have to be fair. If you want 192lb on one side then we want 183lb on the other side. If you want 190, we’ll take 185.”So that was the terms we gave, take-it-or-leave it, we’ll even fight in America in Vegas. We’ve really tried to make it happen.” Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSKSI, 31, is yet to return since his controversial points loss to Tommy Fury, 25, in October and has been recovering from a hand injury.Paul was also beaten by Fury in 2023 but bounced back with five wins following the only loss of his 12-bout career. AnEsonGib hits back at ‘unauthentic’ KSI after Misfits Boxing boss backs Slim Albaher to BEAT former friend-turned-rivalHis most recent was against 58-year-old Tyson – who returned for his first professional fight in almost 20 YEARS. The showdown was scrutinised amid the age-gap but still a massive 108million viewers tuned in to watch it on Netflix. Paul looks set to move back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb after moving up to heavyweight. But his promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian has opened the door to sensationally fighting the likes of Anthony Joshua, 35, or Daniel Dubois, 27. But Taylor hit back: “At this point I really just think it’s Nakisa because if Jake loses to KSI, there’s no Canelo payday. “And look, he’s not fighting AJ unless Nakisa really doesn’t like Jake.”Anthony Joshua with Jake Paul More
