Explaining how he knew Keane, the funnyman said: "Roy and I had the pleasure of playing in Soccer Aid."
Ferrell headed to the Etihad after taking in some National League football on as Wrexham beat Wealdstone 3-1 on Saturday.
He added: "I'm on a recruiting trip for LAFC, I'm seeing if [Man City] measure up to the MLS. I don't really have a side over here, I just enjoy following all the storylines, it's obviously a very good league."
A number of fans took to Twitter to express their shock at Keane and Ferrell's friendship.
One tweeted: "Will Ferrell and Roy Keane is the most unexpected friendship ever."
Another said: "A Will Ferrell and Roy Keane bromance is something I didn't expect to see this Sunday."
Someone else commented: "Will Ferrell just showed up on Sky Sports and is mates with Roy Keane. The match can't possibly live up to this. I may just switch off."
