Ex-Sunderland boss Roy Keane has spoken out on Manchester United’s decision to overlook the former midfielder for the interim manager role.

The Irishman had been suggested as a potential option by some following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“They were never gonna call me, that was never gonna happen,’ Keane told Sky Sports.

“I’d have no problem going into any dressing room trying to take control of a dressing room, I’ve managed in the Premier League and I don’t think it would be a problem to me, but it was never going to happen.

“People tend to forget that I have managed before and I did okay in the Premier League with Sunderland.”
