Keane should be next boss

RUUD VAN NISTELROOY believes that Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane should be handed the manager’s job at Old Trafford when Alex Ferguson finally calls it a day.

Ferguson has another two-and-a-half years left on his current contract and van Nistelrooy feels the Scot’s general on the pitch is his natural successor off it: “I think Roy Keane should be the next manager of Manchester United.

“He is already the most popular player at the club, he is the working-class hero, and I know he could be the new manager. And I think he will be a great manager.
