ROY KEANE watched on in disgust and said Kyle Walker should be "EMBARRASSED" for his theatrics against Manchester United.
Walker's City were leading United 1-0 in the Manchester derby when the two teams clashed before the break.
The England full-back was involved in a clash when he tripped up striker Rasmus Hojlund before the pair went nose-to-nose.
And Walker subsequently threw himself to the ground despite there being no contact.
Sky Sports brilliantly replayed the moment to Keane during half-time and included a pop-out screen to show the United legend's reaction.
Unsurprisingly the Irish hardman grimaced and said: "You don't mind a bit of this, this is going to happen in the game—a bit of argy-bargy, of course.
"But I look at it, he's been blocked but Walker, of course, it's a foul and a free-kick and Hojlund's not happy, that's fine.
"And he goes over, how can Walker... Walker must be embarrassed. He must be embarrassed to go down like that.
"An experienced player, listen there is no contact. Look at this, I don't know the guy and am embarrassed for him. It's embarrassing."
Micah Richards interjected: "He's better than that."
Keane, who showed off his shaved haircut in the studio, responded: "Is he? Not so sure."
Both Hojlund and Walker were booked for the incident.
United came into the game with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, who surprisingly dropped from the squad.
And manager Ruben Amorim appeared to suggest it was down to performances on the training and match pitch.
He said: “We try to evaluate everything training performance, game performances, engagement with team-mates, push their team-mates up.
"Everything is on the line when we analyze and try to choose the players. It is my selection. Simple.
“I don’t want to send a message it is simply an evaluation and they know it. The players are smart.
"Everybody understands my decision and I have to choose. It is a simple selection.
“Of course, the context is difficult because we have to win games and we have a difficult situation now.
"I pay attention to everything, the way you eat, the way you put your clothes to go to a game. Everything. I make my evaluation and then I decide."
United were then hit with further misery when Mason Mount hobbled off injured before 15 minutes.
Josko Gvardiol had opened the scoring on 36 minutes - but United sensationally turned the game around.
Amad Diallo won a penalty on 88 minutes - converted by Bruno Fernandes - before the forward scored the winner just moments later.
And rubbing salt into the wounds, Hojlund later posted a savage poem on Instagram after United's come-from-behind victory.
He wrote: "Manchester is red. Violets are blue. What a brilliant performance. But the Oscar goes to..."
