United shock as Keane reveals exit plans

ROY KEANE has stunned Manchester United by revealing he expects to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

The Irishman’s contract is due to expire in the summer and it was widely assumed he would be given at least an extra year, possibly to combine playing duties with a coaching role.

However, in a live MUTV phone-in, Keane has rejected any likelihood of moving straight onto Alex Ferguson’s backroom staff and feels it will be the end of the season before United chief executive David Gill decides whether the 34-year-old will be handed an extension, by which time it will be too late.
