Keane unmoved as he wades back into Saipan debate

As one chapter in the Roy Keane story ends and another looms, the Cork man has illustrated in his latest interview none of his trademark tenacity is receding with age.

Speaking to FourFourTwo magazine, Keane covers a range of topics from Mick McCarthy, his legacy at Manchester United to incorporating lessons learned from his managerial career so far into the next stab at taking the helm for club or country should it arise.

As revealed in yesterday’s Irish Examiner, the former United captain has tabled a conditional invite to his nemesis Alex Ferguson for peace talks but doesn’t spare the Scot by suggesting double-standards were at play in jettisoning David Beckham.
