Bye Keano: on-form Roy to exit stage in 18 months

MANCHESTER United skipper Roy Keane will hang up his boots in 18 months’ time - despite his recent impressive form.

The 33-year-old is ready to disregard the evidence of the past four weeks and wreck the hopes of his manager by ending his phenomenal career at the end of next season.

It is expected that Keane will take up a job in management after he retires. He is currently studying for his UEFA coaching badge.
