ROY KEANE fumed "who the f*** buys that?" after one of David Beckham's more lavish purchases.
The duo starred for Manchester United together for a decade between 1993 and 2003.
Becks was renowned for enjoying the finer things in life, and never shied away from buying fancy cars and clothes.

"He bought a fancy pen. I was like ‘who the f*** buys a pen? Who buys an expensive pen?’
