Roy Keane has stunned Manchester United
by revealing he expects to leave Old
Trafford at the end of the season.
The Irishman's contract is due to
expire in the summer and it was widely
assumed he would be given at least an
extra year, possibly to combine playing
duties with a coaching role.
However, in a live MUTV phone-in, Keane
has rejected any likelihood of moving
straight onto Alex Ferguson's backroom
staff.
'I would like to play another year or
two but I do not think it will be at
Manchester United,' he said.

KEANE REVEALS UNITED EXIT PLANS
Keane believes it will be the end of
the season before United decide whether
to offer him a new deal, by which time
it will be too late.
'I would be surprised if I was offered
a new contract and even if I was, I
would not expect it to be until the end
of the season but by then I will have
already made a decision about what I am
going to do,' he said.
'There comes a time for everybody when
they have to move on and I am prepared
to play elsewhere.'
'I think it will be good to experience
a different dressing room.'
