Fergie not Keane on fly-out

Alex Ferguson will resist the temptation to fly Roy Keane to Japan for the last match of Manchester United’s Far East tour.

Keane’s absence from the Red Devils squad has been the major talking point of the entire trip, with Ferguson being forced to refute suggestions he left his skipper at home for disciplinary reasons following a bust-up at the club’s training camp in the Algarve three weeks ago.
