Roy Keane Instagram racks up huge amount of followers in just 24 hours

Roy Keane has already racked up close to one million followers on Instagram since joining the social media site yesterday.

The Ireland and Man Utd legend sent Instagram into meltdown on Friday evening when he posted a selfie with his dog.

Sky Sports pundit Keane has been a hit over the last few years for his ruthless analysis and his first post already has 637,000 likes.

The former midfield enforcer has just one picture on his profile so far, and is still yet to follow anyone else.

Fellow football pundit and Arsenal legend Ian Wright was among those to welcome Keano to Insta, along with the likes of Phil Neville, Andy Cole and Micah Richards, the former Man City defender who has struck up an unlikely bromance with Keane in the Sky Sports studio.

It comes a week after Keane was left disgusted by a viral video of his likeness from the FIFA video game.

Co-pundit Richards showed Keane a video of his digital self busting out some celebratory moves in the popular football title - and had to dub his own audio over the clip to mute the X-rated reaction.

Graeme Souness was even left giggling at the hilarious clip from Sky's Super Sunday coverage.
