When Daniel Sturridge burst onto the Sky Sports punditry scene last season there was only ever one question: How long before Roy Keane explodes?
While the explosion is yet to go off, Keane and Sturridge have certainly had their moments and today was no different, with one particularly cringy Daniel Sturridge line leaving Keane's eyes closer to the sky than his face.
In what was an absolute mauling, Arne Slot's Liverpool handed Manchester United a 3-0 defeat in the depths of Old Trafford. Two Casemiro mistakes in the first half cost Ten Hag's side dearly, with Luis Diaz expertly capitalising on them and firing his side on both occasions before Casemiro made way at halftime.
While both sides had their share of chances in the second half, it was Mo Salah who was the away fan's hero. Not only was Salah involved in both the opening goals, but the Egyptian star claimed Liverpool's third, making it seven goals in his last seven appearances at Old Trafford.

Keane aghast with cringe Daniel Sturridge line
While Salah was delivering the records, Keane and Sturridge were delivering the comedy, as one Sturridge Rhyme left Keane bemused.
Speaking to Salah after the game, Daniel Sturridge buttered the Liverpool forward up with a personal rap:
Well if you don't know, his name is Mo and he loves to score the goals.
"His name is Mo & he loves to score the goals"

Unsurprisingly, Keane's dramatic eye roll suggested he was less than impressed with the antics on display. Although in his defence he did hold his inevitable criticism until Salah had left.
Listen I warned you, you gotta stay humble in victory and defeat but you obviously didn't listen did ya. That wasn't a chat, that was a bromance thing going on over there.
The banter between the two is just the latest episode of Roy Keane struggling to put up with his polar opposite pundit. It's been a whole year now since the pair made their punditry debut, and a 'Key and Peele' like act from Sturridge and Trent-Alexander left Roy Keane absolutely vexed.
