Ex-Manchester United youngster opens up on his experience with Roy Keane’s trademark death stare

Roy Keane doesn't cut much slack. Of this we are all well, well aware.

Even for the greener, less experienced members of Manchester United's squad, Keano always expected and demanded more. Danny Webber, who made a grand total of three appearances for the Red Devils, does not have many memories of his time at Old Trafford but he will never forget his experience with the death stare that has likely kept many players, managers and match officials awake at night. Big things were expected of Webber after impressing for United's youth team but he, like many young prospects, failed to make it to the first team. But at least he has a Keano anecdote to hold with him forever. Webber, who retired in the summer after two seasons with Salford City, was a guest on BBC 5 Live on Wednesday when he discussed his first run-in with the icy glare of the club's legendary captain.

Who doesn't love a Roy Keane story?

"As a young lad coming into the first team you kind of hope that along the way, people will welcome you softly," he told Conor McNamara and Phil Williams. "But then, as fate would have it, the following year we're at York in a preseason game again. I run through clear on goal, I look to the left. Who's there again?. It's him!" Webber said. "I'm thinking 'what do I do?' This time I squared it and he did score. He remembered from the year earlier as well."
