The 53 year old was involved in an on-field altercation with supporters at Portman Road last Sunday ahead of Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. And Keane, who managed the Tractor Boys between 2009 and 2011, was caught on camera offering to meet a disgruntled fan in the car park after the match in a bid to resolve the matter.

But despite the incident, it is claimed that Keane – who has less than 12 months left on his contract with Sky Sports – will be part of the broadcasters’ line-up for Sunday’s match on Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester City.
