Greater Manchester Police are investigating a road rage incident which is believed to have involved Roy Keane.

The Manchester Evening News reports that Keane allegedly left his Range Rover to shout abuse at a taxi driver in the town of Altrincham at around 1.30am today.

The argument is believed to have begun when both vehicles were parked, and then escalated shortly later when Keane swore and made obscene gestures towards the other driver.

The former United captain, now 43, lives in the nearby suburb of Hale.

A statement from a police spokesperson read:

“An investigation is underway to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.”
