Roy Keane makes surprise social media arrival after setting up an Instagram account... with Manchester United legend's first post a selfie with his dog

Roy Keane has surprised social media users after creating an Instagram account, and has announced his arrival on social media with a selfie.

The former Manchester United captain has never shied away from voicing his disapproval of social media and criticised Arsenal's players six years ago for being more interested in taking selfies than winning trophies.

The Irishman regularly appears with his stern views as a pundit on Sky Sports, but he finally appears to have come round to the idea of using social media.
