Kinnear: Keane a United boss in waiting

JOE KINNEAR is convinced that Roy Keane’s long-term future lies as manager of Manchester United or the Republic of Ireland.

Newcastle’s interim manager said: “Without being rude to Sunderland, I would say he’s a Manchester United manager in waiting.

“You look at the job he’s done. If he keeps Sunderland in the Premier League and if he was to get them in the top 10 maybe, and pick up a trophy along the way, that would put him right up there.
