Roy Keane would be a brilliant addition to Ruben Amorim's coaching staff at Manchester United.
That's according to former Red Devils star Gary Pallister, who believes the Irishman's experience and no-nonsense approach would benefit the falling giants.
Keane was a key player for United during his playing days, with the 53-year-old seven Premier League titles.
He also won four FA Cups, while he helped the Red Devils win the Champions League in 1999 - even if he missed the clash through suspension.

Fast-forward to 2025 and United are a shadow of the team that dominated domestic football during Sir Alex Ferguson's time in charge.
They currently sit 13th in the Premier League table and will go into today's Europa League clash with Rangers hoping to bounce back after a torrid 3-1 defeat to Brighton last time out.
And former United star Pallister believes Keane would be a good addition to Amorim's coaching staff as the 39-year-old looks to turn things around.

Speaking to Punters Lounge, who offer the latest horse racing betting, he said: “If Roy Keane was to return to Manchester United on the coaching staff then he would certainly shake things up.
"Ruben Amorim has often talked about the successful history of the club but it is tough to bring former players back.
“Ruud van Nistelrooy did well before going to Leicester, Bryan Robson might have had a chance to go back there when he was coaching. You also look at names like Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs.

“A lot has changed at Manchester United since these players left the club including new ownership and potentially a new stadium soon, but Keane would definitely shake things up in that dressing room.”
With each passing match, United seem to go backwards.
They have failed to win, or even seriously compete, for the Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement nearly 12 years ago.

And Pallister admits it's hard to put a timeline on when United will be back for competing for the biggest trophies on offer.
"It's difficult to put a timeline on it," he said when asked when United will next secure glory. "Who'd have thought in 1990 when we nearly went into the relegation zone that we'd win the FA Cup that year and we'd win in Europe the following year? You didn't really see that.
“The green shoots probably at the end of 1990. The FA Cup win was huge in sending United forward and having that confidence within the team to go on and win trophies.

“So that took us four years, seven years I think it was for Alex to get to the promised land of winning the Premier League title.
“I like the way Ruben comes across. He's steadfast, he's not moving, he's a believer in his system. I think he speaks well.
“He's not going to suffer fools, if you don't want to be there, I don't think you're going to be there. If you don't show the right attitude, you're not going to be there. He's setting the ground rules at the moment and hopefully most of the players will go along with him in that.”
