Roy Keane has today denied an alleged road rage offence involving a taxi driver in Altrincham town centre.
The former Manchester United captain is said to have confronted Fateh Kerar, 44, during an incident outside The Unicorn pub on Ashley Road on January 30th.
Keane did not attend the hearing at Trafford Magistrates’ Court but a not guilty plea was entered by his solicitor to a public order offence.

The 43-year-old Republic of Ireland assistant manager, from Hale, is accused of causing harassment, alarm or distress to Kerar. He was interviewed by police about the incident last month.
The court heard the prosecution intends to call two witnesses – thought to be Kerar and a taxi passenger – while the defence plans to call Keane and an additional witness.
The case has been adjourned until June 19 when Keane will face a trial at Manchester and Salford magistrates’ court.
