According to reports, Keane was highly displeased with Foden's actions of mocking Manchester United supporters after the Old Trafford derby, despite his red card having left his teammates at a disadvantage for a period.

Foden was sent off in the first half for responding to a thinly-veiled stamp from Fernandes by kicking back at Manchester United's captain.

Despite Michael Oliver sending off the English player, Manchester City still won 1-0 with a goal from Haaland. There were suggestions the goal should have been disallowed, as the VAR team did not intervene, which some viewed as a serious refereeing error.

After the incident, Foden continued to taunt Manchester United fans by making a 1-0 gesture as he left the pitch.

Keane, speaking on the latest episode of the "Stick to Football" podcast, made his strong disapproval of the action clear.

He said: "Can I talk about Foden? Foden was sent off last weekend and dropped from the England squad. He likes watching videos of himself kicking a ball against a wall online, trying to learn headers, maybe score a few goals against Crystal Palace..."

"Anyway, did you see him walking towards the bus the other day? He put his finger up, making a 1-0 gesture to the Manchester United fans."

Jill Scott then defended the player, saying: "But he was being abused the whole time, wasn't he? People always react."

However, the Manchester United legend was not convinced, countering: "You've just been sent off, what are you still doing? Go to the bus."

Scott continued: "People always react, and he's a Manchester City fan anyway. I think when he walked past them, he was doing it as a fan."
