Hilarious footage shows Alf-Inge Haaland being serenaded with Roy Keane chants by a group of Manchester United fans on a London tube yesterday afternoon, following their side's 2-1 FA Cup victory over Manchester City.
His son Erling led the line for City in what was an uncharacteristically poor performance from the Pep Guardiola's side, with the Norwegian striker coming under criticism online for his lack of impact on the game. He has now failed to score or register an assist in the nine semi-finals and finals he has played a part in.
Many City fans were quick to defend the striker, and argued that he should have been awarded two penalties in yesterday's match.
Firstly for a push in the back from Lisandro Martinez in the opening two minutes, which the Norwegian striker made the most of, and secondly for a supposed foul committed by Kobbie Mainoo in the 76th minute. The two-time golden boot winner rattled a shot against the crossbar in the second half that could have changed the outcome of the game as City pushed United at the end of this game.

Alf-Inge Haaland taunted by 'Keano' chants after Manchester United FA Cup win
Brilliant footage shows Alf-Inge Haaland being serenaded by a choir of United fans, taunting the former Manchester City defender by singing:
Oh Keano's fucking magic, he wears a magic hat.
He signed for Man United cos he's fucking dynamite.
The former Manchester City defender managed a wry smile upon hearing the chants, and took it well.

Haaland and Keane have a long and fiery history, which has been well documented.
In a game between Leeds United and Manchester United in 1997, Keane suffered a serious knee cruciate injury after a challenge from Haaland, with the defender reportedly accusing Keane of faking the injury.
Four years later, with Haaland playing for rivals City at the time, Keane lunged at the defender with a fiercely high tackle and caught the Norwegian well above the knee. The Corkman was shown a straight red card for the tackle.
The famous tackle gained traction as the moment that ended Haaland's career, however the City defender had reportedly been struggling with knee injuries prior to the incident, and managed a further five appearances before announcing his retirement.
Roy Keane has been critical of his former nemesis' son throughout this season, comparing his quality to that of a League Two player, as well as calling him a 'spoilt brat'.
It's safe to say yesterday was not his best performance in a city shirt.
