“Haaland, Haaland, how’s your father?” say the (semi-original) fans in Old Trafford, only to celebrate their club legend Roy Keane immediately afterwards. More provocation is not possible. And it doesn’t get any clearer than that. A clear allusion to a derby in 2001. At that time, Keane, not exactly known for his fine blade as an active player, brutally knocked out City player Alf-Inge Haaland, Erling’s father. After the red card was due, he also insulted Haaland, who was lying on the ground. The scene went down in Derby history. Keane later admitted he intentionally hurt Haaland.
