Keane has eyes on United top job

He is studying for the relevant coaching badges, and believes working under Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough has put him in good stead.

"I have spoken to one or two people in the game and it is something which appeals to me going down the road to becoming a manager," Keane said.

"I wouldn't like to say for certain, but it is definitely something in the back of my mind. The challenge would appeal to me and to be manager of Manchester United? Why not!

"I'd like to pass on the experience I have had and I have been fortunate to play under some brilliant managers such as Alex and Brian Clough.

"Hopefully the boss will be here for a few more years but it is something which has crossed my mind. I am in the process of sitting my coaching badges over the next year or two and then who knows?"
