Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane must appear in court over an alleged road-rage row with a taxi driver.
Keane, 43, has been summonsed to go before Trafford Magistrates' Court after police received a report he had behaved aggressively in the incident in January.
It is alleged that the Irishman got into the row with Fateh Kerar, 44, near traffic lights on Ashley Road in Altrincham on Jan. 30.
In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: "A summons was posted for Roy Keane to his home address in Hale to appear before Trafford Magistrates court on March 31 for a Section 4A Public Order offence.
"This is in relation to an incident on Friday Jan. 30, 2015 when police were called to Ashley Road, Altrincham to a report that a man had behaved aggressively towards another man.''
Mr Kerar, from Altrincham, has claimed the alleged row was triggered when he and his passenger noticed Keane parked in his Range Rover near the former footballer's home in Hale, Cheshire.
The public order offence Keane has been summonsed for is for types of conduct which may at least be capable of amounting to threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, according to Crown Prosecution Service guidelines.
Keane will appear in court on March 31.
Keane enjoyed a trophy-laden career at Old Trafford and also played for Nottingham Forest and Celtic.
He has also managed Premier League club Sunderland and Championship side Ipswich, but recently gave up his job as assistant manager of Aston Villa to concentrate on a similar role with Republic of Ireland.
