Keane book is a warning to Beckham: McGuire

THE controversy generated by the newspaper serialisation of Roy Keane’s autobiography will have acted as a warning shot to his Manchester United team-mate David Beckham, believes PFA deputy chief executive Mick McGuire.

The England captain yesterday landed a multi-million pound book deal of his own and has promised his legion of fans a ‘‘first real autobiography’’ disclosing details of his private life as well as the highs and lows of a roller-coaster football career.

However, with the aftershocks of Keane’s own explosive revelations still rippling through the game, McGuire is confident Beckham will not follow the Corkman’s controversial lead, which has led to threats of legal action from Manchester City and their defender Alf Inge Haaland.
