Roy slaps premier league price tag on Manchester pad

THE six-oven Aga is a bit redundant for a man who confesses to being unable to boil an egg and the outdoor swimming pool would only tempt penguins in this weather, even if it is heated.

But perhaps the most eye-popping thing about Roy Keane’s eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom, 9,500 sq ft former family home outside Manchester is the price he hopes to get for it now that he’s finally decided Ipswich is home and it’s time to put his previous residence on the market.

Keane is asking €11.2 million for the property which, if achieved, would net him a profit of almost €6m over what he paid for it in 2005 and the cost of the improvements he has made since.
