After the striker Erling Haaland scored the first goal in the Manchester derby, a man was apprehended by authorities

According to the BBC, a 34-year-old man was apprehended for reportedly throwing an object in the direction of Erling Haaland at Old Trafford after the Norwegian forward scored the first goal in the Manchester derby on Sunday.

Authorities confirmed that the man was taken into custody at 17:00 GMT and later released on bail. The unidentified item, launched from the Stretford End, did not reach the Manchester City player.

Following the match, the ex-Borussia Dortmund player disclosed that United supporters had been taunting him by chanting Roy Keane’s name while he celebrated his initial goal.

These chants specifically referenced Keane’s infamous tackle on Haaland’s father, Alf-Inge, during a Manchester derby back in 2001.

After being sent off for the challenge, Keane’s tackle resulted in Alf-Inge undergoing knee surgery and ultimately led to his retirement from playing, with him only participating in a few matches for City afterward.

Having witnessed his son score two goals and assist Phil Foden in Sunday’s derby, the ex-City player surely relished the victory as Manchester City asserted their dominance in the rivalry.
