Mason Greenwood is innocent — Getafe not interested in investigation of Man United youngster
LALIGA club Getafe have made it clear that they are only interested in football in matters concerning Mason Greenwood.
Shearer responded by making fun of his co-host by saying, "I think the common opinion is 'don't f*** with big Mics'."
Linker continued, "In case those of you are unaware, there was an incident at Arsenal yesterday where allegedly Roy Keane was headbutted by someone and a certain Micah Richards stepped in.
"We'll get the full story at some point. It is something we shouldn't trivialise, either, really, because obviously, that is a serious thing if fans start attacking people.
"We will wait until the police investigation is done until before we cover that story even more."
According to reports, Keane and Richards were waiting by an elevator in a members-only bar in the Emirates Stadium's West Stand.
As the game neared its conclusion, they were on their way down from the Sky studio when the event happened.
However, the video showed Richards putting a man against a wall yesterday night after the supporter allegedly assaulted Keane.
