Roy Keane jokingly gave Sky Sports presenter Kelly Cates his famous death stare after her cheeky jibe at his expense.
The former Man United midfielder was sporting a lovely brown cardigan, but Cates couldn’t help but label him ‘Cardi B’ during coverage of Manchester United’s clash at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
Whether he knows who the American rapper Cardi B is remains a mystery but in typical Keane fashion he showed his serious persona in immediate reaction to Cates’ comments. He did smile for a split second though.
Cardi B, named Belcalis Marlenis Cephus is a 32-year-old hip-hop artist most known for her singles ‘I like it’ and ‘Bodak Yellow’
