Soccer star swung a punch, narrowly missing frightened teenager’s face, court hears

MANCHESTER United captain Roy Keane grabbed a frightened teenager around the neck while shouting in his face after the youngster insulted him, a court yesterday heard.

The Irish international also swung a punch at the 16-year-old, his fist stopping just before the youth’s face, the court heard. The two had clashed after the young student had been riding his moped with a friend near Keane’s €2 million mansion in Hale, Greater Manchester.

Keane had been walking his dogs near his home when the boy sounded his horn to acknowledge the star, Trafford Magistrates’ Court heard yesterday.
