Premiership: Keane drops United quit hint

Roy Keane has dropped a broad hint that he may leave Manchester United in two years time.

Keane admits he could follow Alex Ferguson out of the door within a year of the manager quitting in May 2002.

The Corkman, who has never hidden his desire to one day play for Celtic, said in a programme article for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Holland: "I've only got this season and the season after (under contract) at Old Trafford.

"There's going to be a new manager, I'll be 31 in my final year and maybe the time will be right to say it's not quite happening at United and I'm not reaching the standards I set myself. It is quite a frightening thought.

"But who is to say I couldn't do it at another top level. I'll be pretty much sure when the time is right."
