Roy Keane reveals his plan to QUIT football punditry

Roy Keane has stated his intention to leave the world of football punditry within the next 10 years.

The Man United legend was involved in an incident with an Arsenal fan at the Emirates Stadium last year.

43-year-old Scott Law was banned from watching football for three years in June after being convicted of headbutting Keane following Arsenal's 3-1 win over United last season.

'I don't think I'll be doing punditry in 10 years' time,' he said on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet.

'I love football but the hassle of matches, getting to games and the hassle of fans.

'I was in court a few months ago with somebody headbutting me - do you think I enjoy that side of it? Absolutely not.'

'The games are fine. Getting to the games, parking up, people shouting your name - good stuff, bad stuff - it's a nuisance. Being a pundit in 10 years, not.'

Keane, who was celebrating his 53rd birthday on the podcast, made his debut as a pundit in 2011 five years after retiring from football.

He has become hugely popular with fans in the role due to his strong opinions and unique style of delivery. 

Keane also spoke about Man United's prospects in the new season, admitting the team's spine concerns him.

'It's always a worry for me about competing and I still worry about the spine of that Manchester United team. For all the nice play they have and good players, I still worry about the goalkeeper and striker.

'On paper they have a decent squad, but the reality is when they've played games, and last year with their record in the league they were so open, If you're on about competing, I worry about the spine of the team.'
