Keane Reveals Retirement Plans

Manchester United skipper Roy Keane today confirmed that he will retire from football when his current contract runs out in the summer of 2006.

Keane, a signing from Nottingham Forest, has made over 450 appearances as a Red Devil since making a switch from the City Ground almost 12 years ago.

The Irishman has written himself amongst Old Trafford's greats for dominating the holding-midfielder role for so long.

Captain-Marvel Keane, 33, has been on top form recently after a patch of dodgy form and recently bagged his 50th goal for United.

Keane confirmed: "When I signed my current contract I believed it would be my last playing contract and I still believe that to be the case.''
