'I don't know why' - Erling Haaland jokes about Man Utd fans' Roy Keane chant after firing Man City to derby win

Haaland converted a penalty in the first half to give City the lead at Old Trafford. He then went on to double their lead early in the second half before setting up Phil Foden to round off the scoring in the Premier League clash.

United fans tried to get under the striker's skin by chanting the name of club icon Keane. The song was in reference to Keane's horrific tackle on Haaland's father, Alf-Inge, during a Manchester derby in 2001. Keane was sent off for the challenge and Alf-Inge only played a handful of matches for City afterwards and then retired.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Haaland played dumb about the chant directed at him, saying: "People were singing to me 'Keano' [after the penalty], I don't know why but it is what it is. It was a nice celebration and a nice game."

Haaland and his City co-stars are next in action on November 4, when they take on Bournemouth.
