FANS have joked that a friendly exchange between Bruno Fernandes and Dominik Szoboszlai will give Roy Keane a headache.
Historically, Manchester United and Liverpool players don’t see eye to eye owing to the heated rivalries between the clubs.

However, Man Utd captain Fernandes had a heartwarming exchange with Liverpool star Szoboszlai on social media.
Fernandes was appearing on the Beast Mode Podcast with former Football League striker and Liverpool fan Adebayo Akinfenwa on the same night he was crowned PFA Player of the Year after breaking the assist record last season.
At the end of their chat Akinfenwa revealed his son idolises Fernandes, before the Portugal international made a startling confession of his own.
The 31-year-old admitted his own son idolises the Liverpool star.

Fernandes said: “Yesterday my son was playing football and he was telling me he was Szoboszlai. He calls himself every player anyway, but when he said Szoboszlai I was like; ‘What?!’”
The comments went viral and were picked up by Szoboszlai, who replied and joked: “Gotta admit, your son’s got good taste @brunofernadnes8.”
Fernandes then responded by praising his rival, saying: “@_SZD10 Great taste for sure (winking emoji). If he learns to kick the ball like you then I will be very happy.”
Fans seeing the exchange online were stunned, with one saying: “Games gone rivals flirting with each other. Roy Keane must be fuming rn.”
