Haaland and City to sue Keane and United

ROY KEANE is facing a potential multi-million pound civil action following his extraordinary admission he deliberately fouled Manchester City rival Alf-Inge Haaland.

The Norwegian international and the Maine Road club confirmed last night they are pursuing both Keane and Manchester United for damages. They have jointly instructed a legal firm to commence proceedings.

The former City skipper has played just once for the Blues since the April 2001 horror tackle which forced him out of the club's successful Division One promotion battle last season.
