Meyler: Roy could sort out United underachievers

While Ireland international manager Martin O’Neill was non-committal on his assistant Roy Keane being linked with a possible role at Manchester United, Hull City and Republic of Ireland midfielder David Meyler believes his fellow Corkman would be well up to the task.

Keane has been linked with an assistant manager’s role at Old Trafford if Holland boss Louis Van Gaal succeeds David Moyes.

“I don’t know anything about it, I really don’t,” was all O’Neill would offer when in Dublin yesterday to open an all-weather pitch in Marlay Park.
