Keane expects to leave Man Utd at end of season

Keane, who has played a pivotal part in United's successes since joining from
Nottingham Forest for 3.75 million pounds ($6.62 million) in 1993, ruled out a
move to the coaching staff at Old Trafford.
"Sometimes it's better to make a clean break. People have mentioned coaching
at United but it doesn't appeal to me," he said.
TEAM TO BEAT
The Irishman would like to win another Premier League title before leaving
and believes his side can catch Chelsea despite being 10 points behind the
leaders already.
"Chelsea are the team to beat at the moment and we don't want to lose too
many games because we found out last year that makes it difficult," said Keane.
"But to say we are out of the title race is ridiculous. There is still such a
long way to go."
United were criticised by their supporters and manager Alex Ferguson booed
during last Saturday's home defeat by Blackburn Rovers.
Keane said the incidents were blown out of proportion although he urged his
team mates to show more character.
"We have always had talented players but what players need to show now is
character," he said. "That disappointed me against Blackburn because that's when
you need players to stick their chests out and say 'give me the ball'.
