‘Haaland, how’s your dad?’ – Man Utd fans mock City striker & his father’s horrific injury as they chant for Roy Keane during derby clash
Haaland #Haaland
Man Utd fans mocked City striker Erling Haaland and his father during the derby clash at Old Trafford and chanted for Roy Keane.
WHAT HAPPENED? Man City striker Haaland was taunted by United fans during the derby at Old Trafford on Saturday. “Haaland, Haaland, how’s your dad?” sang home fans in the first half, quickly following up the chant with chants of “Keano, Keano.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Haaland senior was on the receiving end of a horrendous foul by Keane when the two sides met all the way back in April 2001. Keane was shown a straight red card but chose to bend over the stricken Man City defender and delivered a few choice words on his way off the pitch. It has been suggested the horror challenge ended Haaland’s career, but he did finish the game and went on to play for Norway four days later.
