Boost for United as Keane set to play in his sixth Cup final

MANCHESTER UNITED have received an FA Cup final boost after captain Roy Keane came through a training session at the club’s Carrington training ground yesterday.

The United skipper had been a major doubt for Saturday’s Millennium Stadium showdown with Division One club Millwall after struggling to shake off a long-standing hamstring problem.

But he is almost certain to play in his sixth FA Cup final this weekend, setting a new post-war record. Keane will become only the second player in history to reach the landmark, but is highly unlikely to overtake the man ahead of him, Lord Arthur Kinnaird, who appeared in nine of the first eleven FA Cup Finals, representing Wanderers and Old Etonians.
