Roy Keane snubs Man Utd by choosing Christmas jumper of rival Premier League club in pic with darts star Luke Humphries
ROY KEANE snubbed Manchester United by wearing a Tottenham Christmas jumper in a meeting with darts star Luke Humphries.
Keane made the bold choice on an episode of The Overlap.
Red Devils legend Keane played 480 times for United during a 12-year period.
He won seven Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League under Sir Alex Ferguson.
And United’s former captain is considered by many to be one of the club’s greatest-ever players.
However, Keane left fans shocked two years ago when he revealed he grew up supporting Tottenham.
The ace admitted as an Irishman, United and Liverpool were the two main English sides people cheered on.
But for some inexplicable reason, he was always drawn to Spurs.
Keane said: “Growing up in Ireland, you were either a Man Utd or Liverpool fan, or Celtic.
“Strangely enough, I supported Spurs. Not sure why, but I did.”

As for darts star Humphries, who supports Leeds, he kept his usual style with his regular blue darts shirt.
Last Christmas saw Keane lift the lid even higher on his support for Spurs.
He said: “I am a Spurs fan, I played for Man United but Spurs are my team.
“Just because I played for Manchester United didn’t mean I was a fan of the team.
“When I played for Rockmount, one of my teammate’s fathers used to bring me to training and he supported Tottenham.
“That’s where it started, I liked their players, the likes of Glenn Hoddle and Clive Allen.
“But after I’d come back from trial at Nottingham Forest, Spurs offered me a trial.
“I turned it down because Forest had been good me, I liked the club and felt some loyalty to them. I had a soft spot for Spurs, and still do.”
