Sunderland boss Keane fancies Inter Milan’s Vieira

Sunderland boss Roy Keane has admitted interest in his old Arsenal rival Patrick Vieira.

Keane is considering bringing the Inter Milan midfielder back to England, despite their battles when the Irishman was with Manchester United.

Keane smiled from ear to ear when asked to confirm his interest and said: “Not when I found out his wages!

“If I believe this player can give us something, I’m sure the board would back us. We’re always making enquiries about lots of players.

“How great is he? I don’t know. I don’t go down that road. I just know he was a bloody good player.

“He had good leadership skills, too. But not as good as mine!”
