Manchester United great Roy Keane is eyeing a return to management.

The former Manchester United captain was last in the dugout as assistant to Martin O'Neill at Nottingham Forest in 2019 but has told friends he is desperate to get back into a coaching role, says The Sun.

He achieved promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland in 2007 and then kept the Mackems in the top flight the following season. A poor run of results saw him stand down from the job in 2008.

As well as his spells as Sunderland and Ipswich, Keane was assistant coach to Martin O'Neill at Aston Villa and the Republic of Ireland.

Since then, he has established himself as one of Sky Sport's main pundits with a reputation for being outspoken.
