Roy Keane's priceless reaction to his daughters dating as fans find out one is engaged to England international

Manchester United icon Roy Keane had a brilliant reaction when talking about his daughters' love life.

Throughout his career, Keane played for the likes of Cobh Ramblers, Nottingham Forest, United and Celtic.

When he was playing at Old Trafford, the Irishman won 17 trophies in total and also built up a reputation for his no-nonsense and tough approach to the game.

Away from the pitch, Keane has five children with his wife Theresa - four of whom are daughters named Shannon, Caragh, Aidan, Leah and Alanna.

Last year, while making an appearance on The Tommy Tiernan Show, Keane was asked about the hardest part of being a father.

He said: "No, they're ok. Listen when they get a bit older, I suppose boyfriends and that type of carry on, yeah that can be (shrugs)."

Tiernan joked: "I'd say it'd be fairly intimidating meeting you now in all fairness. Clint Eastwood in the kitchen."

To which the former midfielder replied: "You'd be very surprised. Surely that's the same for everybody."

Tiernan then continued: "You're so guarded. Maybe you're just so calm and settled and strong."

Keane said: "No, quite relaxed yeah. Do you want me to do a somersault or something? Very relaxed, nice drive up, we're good."

Recently, fans found out that Keane's future son-in-law is Southampton centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who has earned his first call-up to the England senior squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and Republic of Ireland.

When asked about Keane during a press conference, Harwood-Bellis replied: "It's something that's good and I've taken a lot of advice [from Keane about international football], yeah.Yeah [I'll lean on him for support].

"Everything's focused on Greece at the minute [over the Republic of Ireland game afterwards]. It's a big game, obviously with the result at home, so we want to go over there and get a result.

"It'll be a good atmosphere so it's something that we're looking forward to, and we'll take the challenge on."
