Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane was charged with assault and criminal damage Tuesday over an alleged confrontation with a 16-year-old boy.

Manchester police said Keane got into the confrontation with the teenager while walking his dog earlier this month at an area golf course.

No details of the confrontation were available.

The Irish midfielder was ordered to appear before a judge Thursday to answer the charges.

Keane, one of the first five picks on FIFA's list of the greatest 100 living soccer players, is known for his temper. He missed the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan after an argument with coach Mick McCarthy over the team's preparations and training facilities. He flew home, and Ireland played without him.
