ROY KEANE was caught up a heated confrontation with an Ipswich supporter moments after Ruben Amorim’s first Manchester United match.
The incident happened at Portman Road following Sunday’s 1-1 draw between the Red Devils and the Tractor Boys.

The game marked Ruben Amorim’s debut in England after replacing Erik ten Hag.
But despite taking an early lead through Marcus Rashford, United were unable to clinch victory after being pegged back through Omari Hutchinson’s wonder strike.
And with both teams sharing the points, things got heated at full-time between pundit Keane and a home supporter.
The Irish United legend spent two years as Ipswich manager between 2009 and 2011.
He won just 28 of his 81 matches and was sacked midway through the 2010/11 campaign with Ipswich in 21st place in the Championship.
Video from the Mail showed Keane leaving his Sky Sports desk before walking over to the sideline where a fan was waiting.
Keane could be see leaning in and speaking to the man while gesturing with his hand.
The fan looked equally animated as Keane continued to deliver a tongue-lashing.

At the same time, other Ipswich supporters poured forward to confront their former boss.
And one could be heard shouting: “F**k you Keane.”
Man Utd ratings vs Ipswich as Onana saves Amorim from embarrassment in first game as boss
MANCHESTER UNITED began the Ruben Amorim era with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich.
Marcus Rashford needed just 81 seconds to put the Red Devils in front at Portman Road, tapping home an Amad Diallo cross.
But Ipswich hit back when Omari Hutchinson’s strike flew in via a deflection off Noussair Mazraoui.
And it was the newly-promoted side who looked likelier to get a winner in the second half.
Here is how SunSport’s Charlie Wyett saw the performances of the Man Utd players…
ANDRE ONANA – 7/10
United’s best player. Two key stops to deny Liam Delap but no chance for the deflected Omari Hutchinson goal.
Then delivered an 87th minute save to keep out an effort from Conor Chaplin.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 5
Slotted in on the right of the three-man defence but unfortunate with the deflection for the goal.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 5
Has been suspect this season and will probably be better suited to a back three although still given a tough time by Delap.
JONNY EVANS – 5
The 36-year-old was targeted by Ipswich for his lack of pace and no surprise he was replaced.
AMAD DIALLO – 6
Did incredibly well to bomb past Jens Cajuste and deliver the cross for Rashford’s early goal but offered little else.
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 5
Some nice touches going forward but too lightweight in this position in front of the back three.
CASEMIRO – 4
Lucky to start ahead of Manuel Ugarte and was really poor.
Struggled throughout before being subbed and could maybe have got a block to the Hutchinson shot.
DIOGO DALOT – 5
Not suited to left wing-back although stayed there when Luke Shaw arrived because the English international replaced Evans in the back three.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 5
Some of his link-up play was fine but United need a captain who can inspire this team and Fernandes is not the man.
Sent a free-kick flashing past the post with 12 minutes left.
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – 5
Twice called over by Ruben Amorim in the first half for instructions.
Denied by a decent save from Aro Muric 50 seconds into the second half.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 6
Criticised for his basketball trip to New York so to score after 80 seconds was two fingers up at his critics – but did not offer much after that.
Subs
Ugarte (for Casemiro 56 mins) – 6
Shaw (for Evans 56 mins) – 6
Hojlund (for Rashford 67 mins) – 5
Zirkzee ( for Eriksen 67 mins) – 5
Mount (for Garnacho 87 mins) – 5
Fans responded with mixed feelings to the clip on social media, with one saying: “Worst manager in Town’s history. He set us back a lot of years.”
Another declared: “The fan needs to grow up.”
