      by

      ROY KEANE revealed the “bizarre” highlight of his distinguished career.The former Manchester United captain remains one of the Premier League’s greatest players and leaders. Roy Keane revealed the highlight of his football careerCredit: YouTube / The OverlapO’Neill looked visibly emotional from the admissionCredit: YouTube / The OverlapHe won seven league titles under Sir Alex Ferguson plus four FA Cups and the Champions League.The 67-cap Irishman previously shone for Nottingham Forest then finished his playing days with Celtic before stepping into management.He had stints with Sunderland and Ipswich but then decided to step back from being a manager to a No2 when he was Martin O’Neill’s assistant with the Republic of Ireland. And he concluded his time working under O’Neill for the national team was the best time of his long and successful time in football. READ MORE ON FOOTBALLKeane, 53, told O’Neill and the regulars on The Overlap’s Stick to Football podcast: “I go back throughout my career, my experience with Ireland, with Martin, and particularly going to Euros, [it was] probably the highlight of my career, which sounds bizarre.“We always talk about playing – it’s all about playing, of course, love playing.”But our time with Ireland was probably the highlight. I just loved everything about it, the dynamics, the energy, the group.“Working with Martin and the other staff members, we had something going on there. There was a feel-good factor. The lads were decent. We did lack probably an out-and-out goalscorer. Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS“We lacked a bit of quality. All those things. But we got to the Euros, we missed out on the [World Cup] play-off. One of the best times of my life.“It was a nice change for me. Different role, different dynamics. I love the flow of international football. You’re there for a few weeks, it’s intense, and then you step back.Roy Keane opens up on fight with Man Utd team-mate that was ‘brewing for years’ and admits he left him with black eye“I loved everything about it.”During their five years together from 2013 to 2018, the duo led Ireland to qualification for Euro 2016 where Robbie Brady scored the winner against Italy to send them into the knockouts before losing 2-1 to France.The Boys in Green were then within 90 minutes of reaching the 2018 World Cup but lost 5-1 in the play-off second leg at home to Denmark. Keane added that he would not have dropped back into an assistant role for any manager – but respected O’Neill enough to join his staff and gain extra opportunities to coach on the training pitches.The shock revelation clearly took the former Leicester, Celtic and Aston Villa gaffer by surprise. O’Neill, 72, appeared emotional as he replied: “It’s extraordinary for you to say that, for the medals that you’ve won in the game, to think that that is the highlight.”Honestly, that’s really genuinely lovely to hear.”READ MORE SUN STORIESThe pair left the Ireland job in November 2018 following relegation in the Nations League then briefly worked together at Nottingham Forest in the second half of the 2018-19 Championship season.Although the pair continue to do punditry for ITV Sport, neither of them have returned to management since leaving the City Ground.

      Laura Woods: Trent Alexander-Arnold may well end up at Real Madrid… here’s why Liverpool CAN afford to lose him

      by

      LAURA WOODS believes Trent Alexander-Arnold may well end up at Real Madrid.But she reckons Liverpool have nothing to fear even if they do lose their homegrown star.Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to be linked with a move to Real MadridCredit: RexLaura Woods reckons Liverpool have a ready-made replacement should he leaveCredit: GettyAlexander-Arnold, 26, is into the final six months of his current Reds contract.And as of January 1, he is free to speak to European clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement to join in the summer.Real Madrid’s long pursuit of right-back Alexander-Arnold is far from secret and the lure of the Bernabeu is so often too strong to resist. Los Blancos were willing to stump up £20million to land the Liverpool local hero this month.READ MORE ON LIVERPOOLBut regardless of the date, should Alexander-Arnold complete the mega-move to Madrid, he would be set for a bumper £100million pay day by boosting his wages and a generous welcome bonus.However, TV broadcaster Woods does not think the loss of their creating, crossing sensation would be as painful as many Reds fans think.That is because of a ready-made replacement and fellow academy graduate. The TNT presenter said: “I think Trent Alexander-Arnold may well end up at Real Madrid and I wouldn’t blame him. He is young, so talented and has the world at his feet.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS”If Real come knocking, there aren’t many that would turn it down, and for good reason.”Liverpool can afford to lose him with the emergence of Conor Bradley, but shouldn’t do it willingly. ‘New MOTD host’ Gabby Logan’s live TV interview with Liverpool boss Arne Slot ends awkwardly “He is an academy boy, he is loved beyond measure and has been there for all of the highs of Liverpool’s recent successes in the Jurgen Klopp era.”So if they do let him go, it should be through gritted teeth.”Alexander-Arnold has forged a reputation as one of the best attacking full-backs thanks to his wonderful deliveries and superb range of passing.But his defensive frailties and vulnerabilities have been exposed over the years.However, despite playing 809 more minutes of football for Liverpool than Bradley in the 2024 calendar year, their stats are not very different.In fact, Bradley actually recorded more assists, completed dribbles and duels won – and nearly double the number of touches in the opposition’s box. The Northern Irishman, 21, set up Alexis Mac Allister’s opening goal in the famous 2-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid before being sidelined by a hamstring injury. And Woods reckons Bradley’s potential to fill Alexander-Arnold’s boots puts even greater pressure on negotiating deals for two other key stars out of contract in the summer.She added to BetMGM: “I do think Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are the priorities of the trio. “They are vital to Liverpool. They’re the DNA of the club, and losing one of those would rock this team more than losing Trent.READ MORE SUN STORIES”I just can’t believe the club has allowed three of their star players to run down their contracts like this.”As much as we’re promised it doesn’t affect their team-mates, the uncertainty will certainly have affected the fanbase and has become one of the main talking points in a season where we should be focusing on their achievements.”Arne Slot has another fine talent in the shape of Conor BradleyCredit: AFPMo Salah and Virgil van Dijk are also out of contract in the summerCredit: Alamy More

Almost doubled Brentford’s lead by fumbling a routine shot and forced to scramble back and clear off his own line. Shaky with ball at feet too. Not the best West London return.JURRIEN TIMBER – 6Lucky to escape further punishment after a clumsy first half lunge earned him only a yellow. Worked hard down the right but could not give Nwaneri the support he needed.WILLIAM SALIBA – 7Remained a calming presence when Arsenal struggled to create in the opening stages.GABRIEL MAGALHAES – 7A rock at the back defending set-pieces and aerial deliveries into his box.RICCARDO CALAFIORI – 6Should have done better to stop Mbeumo cutting inside for his opener. Far too easy.THOMAS PARTEY – 7Composed on the ball and with some neat and important interceptions. His curled shot paved the way for the equaliser.MIKEL MERINO – 7Won some important duels as Arsenal pinned Brentford back early on. Clinical in the box to put his side ahead after a goalmouth scramble.MARTIN ODEGAARD – 6Lost the ball in midfield before Brentford took the lead. A rare quiet outing. Lucky that others around him stepped up.ETHAN NWANERI – 7Struggled to have any real impact in open play, given the impossible job of replicating what Saka does out on the right wing. However, two deliveries into the box brought about two goals to secure the three points.GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 8Lively with little end product in the first half. That all changed after the break with a sweet volley to kill Brentford’s comeback hopes. Was a constant threat.GABRIEL JESUS – 8He just cannot stop scoring. His instincts in the box look to be back to the levels he produced at Manchester City.SUBSTITUTESLEANDRO TROSSARD (NWANERI, 78) – 6Made a few good runs in behind but that was about it.DECLAN RICE (MERINO, 78) – 6Solidified the midfield.

So far off the pace and barely made a pass.Missed a guilt-edge chance to pull one back on the stroke of half-time.Christian Eriksen – 4Similarly inept in protecting his defence as Casemiro, as he was overran time and time again.He did at least put a few passes together and improved after Mainoo came on.Amad Diallo – 4A tricky evening up against the hardworking Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall so was largely ineffective.Joshua Zirkzee – 2Nothing went his way and the fans quickly got on his back. He was hauled off in the 33rd minute and his substitution was greeted with cheers by the Old Trafford faithful.Rasmus Hojlund – 5Fed off scraps but did not stop running and was a rare bright spark – came very close with a low shot that whistled past the post in the first half.SubsKobbie Mainoo (for Zirkzee) – 6Turned things around after his introduction and made things happen with his accurate passing.Set up Casemiro for a chance the Brazilian should have buried.Leny Yoro (for Martinez, 64mins) – 6Had a good chance from a corner but sent his free header wide.Alejandro Garnacho (for Casemiro, 64mins) – 4Struggled to make an impact as he failed to beat a man.Antony (for De Ligt, 83 mins) – 5Not enough time to influence the match.”It was really tough for me to do that, but I’ve spoken to Josh as it was important to express the message. We needed Josh to go out, for the team.”The player is suffering and I was there myself a few years ago. I felt he and the team were suffering during the game and we needed another midfielder.
