Ferguson: ‘Fantastic’ Keane right to look beyond contract

ALEX FERGUSON says he’s not surprised Roy Keane is thinking of extending his Manchester United career.

33-year-old Keane revealed yesterday he had not yet given up the idea of earning himself another Red Devils contract when his current one expires in 18 months’ time.

It was the first time Keane had ever expressed a desire to carry on playing, after initially suggesting he would bow out of the game in 2006, hopefully after a World Cup Finals swansong.
