'DM us': Roy Keane returns to Instagram with Solskjaer post

Roy Keane made his return to Instagram with a post alongside his friend and former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

He joked about the pair returning to management, captioning the post: "DM us if you're looking to hire a manager."

It comes following Solskjaer's appearance on the Stick to Football podcast, which Keane co-hosts along with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott and Ian Wright.

The former Ireland and Manchester United captain has two million followers on Instagram, and delighted football fans with his posts, often making jokes at his own expense.

Now Keane's ugly lunge, a straight leg spearing into the Norwegian and sending him cartwheeling, does not enforce retirement on its own. It harms Haaland's right knee and in Ohio, they operate on the left. A knee is dependent on the other one though
