What Roy Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo said in pre-match exchange before Man United vs Liverpool

Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo and former club captain Roy Keane were involved in a quick exchange ahead of kick-off against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday evening.

Ronaldo, who is still keen to leave Old Trafford ahead of next week's transfer deadline, was one of four players to have been dropped from Erik ten Hag's starting line-up, following last Saturday's 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Brentford. Alongside Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Fred, the Portuguese international was demoted to the bench.

Anthony Elanga was preferred in attack to Ronaldo, meaning Marcus Rashford moved into the centre of the front-three. It is the second time in United's opening three matches that the 37-year-old has started on the bench.
