It's fair to say that Roy Keane does not enjoy losing.
The Manchester United legend enjoyed a decorated career, which included seven Premier League titles, as well as Champions League and FA Cup glory, and earned a reputation as one of football's fiercest competitors.

Keane served as O'Neill's assistant during his time as Republic of Ireland manager between 2013 and 2018, a period which the ex-Red Devils captain has since described as the 'highlight' of his career.
And while the Irishman reflects fondly on this time, there is one moment which he may not be quite so keen to recall.
Appearing on The Overlap's 'Stick to Football' alongside Keane, O'Neill recounted the former midfielder's struggles during a team golf day as part of the Ireland set-up.
He recalled: “So we're playing this particular evening, and Roy's using a 7-iron.
"And so he's obviously mad - it's a par three, and he's [on his] seventh shot, and he's halfway down the fairway."
Things then went from bad to worse for Keane, as he was spotted by two young fans who were keen for an autograph.
O'Neill continued: “And so these two young lads, it's [the golf course] is in our hotel. It's just near the golf course attached to it.
"And the two lads are just on the outskirts on bicycles, they're about 14 or 15.
“You can see Roy's back there, and the two lads are just beside me, and they say, Hey mister, is that Roy Keane there?’

And they said, ‘Do you think we could get his autograph?’"
Aware of Keane's hot-tempered nature, O'Neill then advised the two young supporters to wait for his form to improve.
He went on: “I said, ‘Not a good time, really not good.'
"If you watch him, and if he hits a decent shot, maybe you [should] go on up towards the green, which he'll not reach! We're going up to the green, and we'll see how we go from there.'
“So the two boys go back on the bicycle and up to the green, and Roy finally gets up to the green. And the two lads [say], ‘Roy, Roy, can we have your autograph?’
O'Neill then left co-hosts Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Jill Scott in stitches as he revealed his former assistant's hilarious response: "F*** off!"

But this didn't to stop O'Neill from continuing to joke about the incident.
Laughing, the former Aston Villa boss quipped: “I met the two lads last year.
"They just got out of a psychiatric ward. Mentally scarred.”
