Man Utd hardman Roy Keane tells drivers to ‘run him over’ if they spot him in lycra as he wears bike helmet for selfie
ROY KEANE has told drivers to ‘run him over’ if they ever spot him cycling in lycra.
The former Manchester United hardman has amused fans this month with his new Instagram account.
Keane, 49, has developed a reputation beyond his playing career as a ruthless, dour pundit.
But on social media, he is now combining that reputation with a more cheeky side.
Accompanying a selfie in a helmet, the Irishman joked about his attire while out for a bike ride.
He wrote: “I’ll wear the helmet but if you see me wearing lycra, run me over”.
And commenters lapped it up.
One wrote: “Man has been on Instagram for 2 weeks and already owns the app.”
While another simply commented: “Iconic.”
And a third added: “Typical Roy Keane, and we all love it”.
