On August 12, Adrian Durham and Darren Bent, commentators of the Community Shield, said that Man Utd legend Roy Keane was extremely unhappy with Man Utd players’ gesture of applauding the victorious Man City players after the game, he was full of disdain and anger.
In the Community Shield, Man Utd drew 1-1 with Man City in 90 minutes. In the ensuing penalty shootout, Man City emerged victorious, winning the first title of the new season. After Man City won the championship, the Man Utd players on the pitch spontaneously lined up to applaud their arch-rivals, a move that puzzled and confused the commentators.
Durham said after the game: “Man Utd players voluntarily opened up a path for Man City players to pass through to receive the Community Shield and the championship medal. I really can’t imagine how Roy Keane felt, if he were a Man Utd player on the pitch at this moment, would he have been part of it, applauding the Man City players to congratulate them on winning? When I looked at Roy Keane beside me, I was surprised he didn’t kick the table over. He put his hand in his pocket and didn’t even look at the Man Utd players, he was very disdainful and angry about it.”
