The Red Devils, captained by Keane, were taking on the Italian giants in the quarter-finals of the competition in 1999.

As the teams shook hands ahead of the match at the San Siro, Inter duo Simeone and Ronaldo bent down to pull up their socks.

Keane had no intention of waiting for them to finish with their alterations.

The Irishman continued at his pace and walked past them, leaving the pair with a confused look on their faces.
