Roy Keane's reaction to sprinkler incident has everyone in fits of laughter

Roy Keane had viewers in fits of laughter ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon.

Sky Sports' pre-match build-up was momentarily interrupted after a water sprinkler went off beside the pundits.

Gary Neville appeared to get the worst of the soakings and didn't look too happy, but Keane hardly moved at all.

Sharing a clip of the incident on Twitter, Sky Sports Premier League wrote: "Attack of the sprinklers. Gary Neville was straight out of there.

"Micah [Richards] felt that one. Roy Keane hardly moved an inch."

Plenty of fans took to social media to have their say on the incident.

One person said: "Roy Keane looked at the sprinkler. The sprinkler stopped."

Another commented: "Roy Keane barely flinched. Genuinely turned around like he was going to go 2 foot the sprinkler."

Someone else tweeted: "Roy Keane with the most Roy Keane-like reaction ever, there."

Keane, Neville, Richards and presenter Kelly Cates were speaking to City boss Pep Guardiola when the sprinkler went off.

Explaining why John Stones and Rodri weren't in City's squad for the game, Guardiola said: "Both are injured, yesterday Rodri in training session, last one, felt something. A little bit more than niggles in his leg and we couldn't take risks with this tough schedule."

In Rodri's place came Ilkay Gundogan, with summer signing Kalvin Phillips having undergone surgery to correct a troublesome shoulder injury.

Guardiola continued: "Kalvin is injured as well. When the biggest clubs in history have the success they have, excuses don't exist in the locker room. In the season it happens with Gundo, if Gundo cannot play we play another one, just to be ourselves."
