Man Utd legend Robson: Keane will be back

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson says former teammate Roy Keane will return to top-flight management.

Robson said of the former Sunderland boss: “He will be back at some stage, it’s in his blood.

“I live around the corner from him and talked to him after he left. He told me that he needs fans behind him and not against him.’’

And Robson, currently an ambassador at United, is plotting a management revival of his own.

He has not worked since his failed bid to lift Sheffield United into the top flight ended with his axing last February.

Now he has designs on the Newcastle job if Joe Kinnear loses his post.

He admitted: “That job would be good.’’

if u want fans behind u, you have to prove ur worth. keane did that bringing them into the top flight.

but why he left when the going got tough? respect is earnt when you fight through the tough times and come out on top. not leave a sinking ship. keane is a quitter. thanks for playing better luck next time...
