'Roy Keane is his own problem' - Dwight Yorke names Manchester United legend's biggest issue

Keane's first job in management came at the Stadium of Light between 2006 and 2008, a period in which Yorke was playing for the Black Cats. Sunderland were promoted under Keane in 2007 and he remained their manager until December 2008.
