Former Manchester United skipper Roy Keane has been cleared of harassing a taxi driver, reports BBC News.

Manchester Magistrates' Court heard he was accused of making a two-finger gesture and shouting aggressively at Fateh Kerar in Altrincham.

The 43-year-old was alleged to have "stared aggressively" at the 44-year-old after the driver did a "smile" gesture and drove away on 30 January.

Keane was found not guilty of causing harassment, alarm or distress.

The Republic of Ireland assistant manager gave evidence from the witness box during the half day trial.
