Keane, 52, was approached by the lover Fred The Red for a high-five during a commercial break.

But the Irishman wasn’t in the mood and really left him hanging.

Keane’s brutal criticism did not go unnoticed by footie fans, one of whom said: “Roy Keane has no time for mascots in football, not even Fred The Red.”

Another said: “He’s too cold.”

And another said: “Classic Roy Keane.”

One pretended to be Keane and commented: “Mascots?! Do me a favor.”

Another agreed: “Football mascots used to be so appreciated and cherished by all clubs.”

However, Fred The Red briefly hugged Keane and wrapped his left arm around the former fan favorite, much to the amusement of Graeme Souness.

United booked their place in the last four of the tournament thanks to a sensational 4-3 victory over their bitter rivals.

Substitute Amad Diallo created incredible scenes at Old Trafford with a last-gasp winner in extra-time just minutes after Marcus Rashford’s equalizer.

And Keane believes the stunning win could be a huge turning point for his former side.

He told ITV: “Man United – I’ve been critical of them all season but they’ve found something somewhere.

“A little spirit, a little momentum.

“They got a bit of luck and sloppiness from Liverpool.

“Amazing, a huge turning point for a lot of these players, especially the manager. Old Trafford is bouncing.

“It’s been a tough season for everyone, great images, great for the young players to get through a big game.

“Honestly, a great ending to the game.”
