Whatever the rest of the Manchester United XI looks like when they turn up for the pre-season friendly, we should all have heard of one of them!

Following his failure to go on the pre-season tour of the Far east, due to injury, it looks as if Roy Keane will be making an an appearnace at Bescot.

Academy coach Brian McClair said at last night’s Manchester United reserve’s friendly at Rossendale: “This 45-minute friendly work out was always part of his rehabilitation programme. All being well he will play again at Walsall on Saturday and may play even longer.”
