Erling Haaland's confession about Roy Keane's brutal challenge on his father Alf-Inge

The Manchester City striker's father was on the end of a vicious Roy Keane lunge at Old Trafford in April 2001 that the Norwegian midfielder believed ended his career.

He failed to complete another game before hanging up his boots and considered suing Keane for loss of earnings after the Irishman admitted in his autobiography that he was taking revenge on his former Nottingham Forest team-mate, reports The Mirror.
