Legendary ex-midfielder Roy Keane categorically said whether or not he’ll be the next Man Utd manager after beginning up on why his return to Sunderland fell through.
Roy Keane, 50, has now not taken a main managerial position since leaving Ipswich Town in 2011. Keane spent five years as assistant to Martin O’Neill with Ireland between 2013-18. He accompanied that up with further assistant roles at Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
But it is as a pundit on Sky Sports and ITV in which Keane has been maximum general in his submit-playing career.
Indeed, Keane has earned rave reviews for his no-nonsense and direct style of punditry. His willingness to call it as he sees it and call names is some thing no longer each pundit is prepared to do.
The Man Utd hotseat is expected to emerge as vacant at the end of the season with Ralf Rangnick tipped to mvoe upstairs. The German holds targets of being appointed on a everlasting basis, although performances could have to dramatically improve among now and June for that to take place.
Mauricio Pochettino is the call maximum frequently touted with taking the reins. However, whether or not he has the gravitas to govern a squad full of egos remains to be visible. Indeed, his stint at PSG has not been easy crusing.
Keane could command the respect of a United dressing room that has persistently underachieved. However, while talking to Gary Neville on The Overlap Live (thru Goal), Keane insisted taking the Man Utd activity is a total non-starter.
“That’s never going to appear,” he told Neville.
“My CV wouldn’t warrant it – it’s as easy as that. The Man United job is a hard activity.”
Keane then spread out on why a mooted go back to Sunderland – who he controlled between 2006-08 – didn’t materialise. The Irishman turned into connected with the publish following Lee Johnson’s dismissal in overdue-January. However, Keane counseled that “as common”, the deal fell thru due to cash.
