Roy Keane breaks cover after Arsenal fan allegedly attacked him but 'broke his own nose'

Roy Keane has broken his cover for the first time after he was allegedly attacked by an Arsenal fan at the weekend.

Keane was pictured walking his dogs in Cheshire on Tuesday morning as the police investigation into the alleged incident continues.

The Manchester United legend was allegedly headbutted by a fan after he celebrated Alejandro Garnacho's goal - which was later ruled as offside by VAR - on Sunday (September 3).

The supporter who allegedly attacked Keane during the Gunners' win is believed to be a man who holds a £2,500-a-season hospitality season ticket.

Keane, who was with Micah Richards, had been making his way pitchside when the incident occurred. And according to The Sun, the individual launched a headbutt at the star, but he hit Keane in the shoulder - breaking his nose.

Witnesses at the scene have claimed there were splatters of blood left at the scene.

The individual is believed to have been left livid after Keane celebrated the disallowed goal. A source said: "Keane was giving it to the Arsenal fans when United scored, and it wound some up. He seemed to be provoking them."

Richards was seen breaking up the pair after the confrontation - and he broke his silence on The Rest Is Football podcast.

Gary Lineker joked the ex-Manchester City man had an eventful weekend, and Richards responded: "Oh, my word. Gary, I'm not allowed to talk about it.
