Friday deadline for United skipper

ROY KEANE has until Friday to decide how to respond to his two Football Association disciplinary charges.

The Man United skipper faces a charge of deliberately setting out to injure Manchester City’s Alfie Haaland at Old Trafford last year and of profiting from revelations made in his autobiography. The former Republic of Ireland midfielder revealed in his book how he deliberately attempted to injure his City rival after an incident while Haaland was at Leeds when Keane suffered a serious knee injury.

Keane said: “I’d waited almost 180 minutes for Alfie. I’d waited long enough. I hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that.”
