David Beckham sent a classy message to Roy Keane after his former Manchester United teammate shared a heart-wrenching update on social media.
Roy Keane has become a leading face in punditry since the end of his legendary playing career and his time as a coach and as a manager.
The Manchester United legend is widely admired for his no-nonsense approach and refusal to pull no punches during his critiques in the Sky Sports studio.
Keane has also become a prominent media personality online, having teamed up with former United teammate Gary Neville for The Overlap’s Stick to Football show.
The 52-year-old Irishman has a limited presence on social media, but Keane does have his own Instagram account and has entertained fans with his posts at times.
Keane has amassed a whopping 2.1m followers on Instagram, but eagle-eyed fans have also spotted that the former United captain does not follow a single account.
Despite posting entertaining content, including one moment with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Keane shared a sad update on his latest post on Instagram.

“Thanks, Jet, for being so beautiful and loyal to our family. We will miss you,” Keane wrote in a caption to his 2.1m followers.
