Roy Keane has 'embarrassing' bank card moment at World Cup in Qatar

Roy Keane has been having some bank card issues at the World Cup in Qatar and was unable to pay for some cereals and yoghurts while out shopping.

The former Republic of Ireland captain is working at the tournament as a pundit for ITV and went out to pick up a few essentials with fellow former footballers Gary Neville and Ian Wright.

Neville stated that he never thought he would be walking through a supermarket with his former United teammate looking for cereal and thought Keane had paid for his shopping, but that wasn't the case.

Keane joked: "It rejected my card. It was over my limit. I've got a budget of £50 a day. Send through another £50. You know when your card is rejected, it's embarrassing isn't it?

"I was delighted. Who paid for it? Was it you or Wrighty? It was brilliant."

Keane's reaction to England's second goal went viral earlier in the week as the United legend wrote something down on a piece of paper while Neville and Wright celebrated behind him.

Explaining what Keane wrote, Neville said: "I grabbed his notes. After the second goal he wrote 'game over'. I put it up to the camera and he snatched it out of my hand."

Keane interrupted, saying: "It was game over."

Neville continued: "It was funny because when it came to the shot, I was like he's writing notes. What can he be writing? England have just scored.

"It was like a manager on the bench when they've just conceded a goal."
