Gerard Pique has revealed how earning the wrath of Roy Keane gave him an early insight into life at Manchester United.

Pique, who arrived at Old Trafford as a youngster from Barcelona, was preparing for a match in the dressing when his mobile phone began to ring.

Keane, who memorably lost his temper when he was Ipswich boss after a reporter's phone went off in a press conference, did not take kindly to the interruption and let Pique know his feelings.

And it is a dressing room dressing down the Spaniard, who returned to the Nou Camp in 2008, remembers well.

"One of my very first matches at Old Trafford, we were in the dressing room getting ready, and I was nervous as hell," he told The Players' Tribune.
