Roy Keane watches Barça's morning training session

The legendary Manchester United and Ireland midfielder Roy Keane was the special guest at FC Barcelona's morning training session at Saint George's Park.

The assistant manager of the Irish national team watched on from the stands of one of the training pitches, part of the English Football Association's installations.

Though he kept a low profile, it was impossible not to recognise the former midfielder.

In a trophy-laden career, Keane spent 12 seasons at Manchester United, between 1993 and 2005.

Ireland were eliminated in the last 16 stage of Euro 2016, by host nation France.

At the end of the session, Keane spoke with the Barça players and coaches, and stopped for some photos.
