Keane keeps options open

The Manchester United skipper reveals that his plans for retirement next year may be shelved — by Alex Ferguson. Liam Mackey listened.

RUMOURS of Roy Keane's retirement may be premature even if they were fanned by the Manchester Utd skipper himself.

Keane revealed yesterday that not only is he determined to play for Ireland if they get to the 2006 World Cup finals, but United manager Alex Ferguson took him aside at the weekend to remind him that it was he who would decide when Roy should retire from playing for the club.
