Football pundit Roy Keane ahead of the Emirates FA Cup semi-final match at Wembley Stadium, London, April 21, 2024

FORMER Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane told a court today he was left “in shock” after being allegedly “headbutted” through doors during a Premier League football match.

Scott Law, 43, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault.

The assault by beating charge relates to an incident at Ashburton Grove on September 3 last year, following Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United, where ex-Ireland international Keane was working as a pundit.
