Leeds boss Sam Allardyce has rejected criticism from Roy Keane.

Former Manchester United captain Keane says he doubts Allardyce will want to manage in the Championship due to his "ego".

But Allardyce said on the Tippy Tappy podcast: "There's nobody with a bigger ego than Roy. That's some statement coming from him.

"He mistakes ego for experience and confidence, and the ability to do the job, which was much better than Roy did (as a manager) wasn't it?'

"I managed in the Championship at Bolton where we got in the play-offs and got into the Premier League in 2001.

"I did what I've done at Leeds with West Ham where I was there in the first year, where we got relegated and then got back into the Premier League through the play-offs and that was a lot of work."
