Keane ‘does not need ankle surgery’

MANCHESTER UNITED have insisted that stories claiming Roy Keane needs surgery on an ankle injury are incorrect.

An English newspaper yesterday claimed that Keane would go into hospital for an operation following Sunday’s top-of-the-Premiership clash with Arsenal, and would be out for six weeks.

However, the club have told ManUtd.com that the reports are not true, stating that “Roy Keane is not set to go under the knife.”
