Roy Keane has hailed the "good news" that Manchester United's owners the Glazer family have put the club up for sale.
A statement was issued by the Glazers on Tuesday confirming reports they were seeking out potential investment, either as a partial bid or a full scale takeover. United fans have long protested against the American family's running of the club.
Keane was United skipper through their trophy-laden period under Sir Alex Ferguson but left the club shortly after the Glazers took over at Old Trafford in 2005. Speaking on ITV Sport, the Irish pundit said: "That’s good news for United fans, again, the last few years they’ve wanted owners out, there’s been no relationship, they [the Glazers] are business people so it’s good news for the fans."
