Roy Keane has admitted that his career in punditry will be over sooner rather than later as he reveals retirement plans.
Since retiring from professional football in 2006, Keane has explored management, coaching and punditry, with the latter being his most recent line of work.
After a successful stint at Sunderland, the Irishman managed Ipswich, and served as assistant manager under Martin O'Neill with the Republic of Ireland team for years, but even during that time, he still worked with the media.
Seeing the former Man United captain on our television screens has become a familiar sight, and his popularity has grown over the years as he often brings some comic relief with his no-nonsense punditry style.
However, speaking o the latest episode of Stick To Football, Keane was enjoying some cake to celebrate his 53rd birthday, and Gary Neville asked him where he thinks he will be in 10 years time.

Hopefully, I’ll be out of this rat race in about 12 months,’ he told the Stick to Football podcast.
"A nice house somewhere, a bit of land, a few animals."
Jamie Carragher then asked: "Still be doing punditry in 10 years?"
Absolutely f**king not," he answered.
"Jesus Christ. You must be joking. I’ll struggle for the next ten months doing this.
"I love football but the hassle of matches, getting to games and the hassle of fans – I was in court a few months ago with somebody headbutting me – do you think I enjoy that side of it? Absolutely not.
"The game is fine, but getting to the game, parking up, people shouting your name - good stuff, bad stuff, it's a nuisance isn't it?
"Listen the podcast is different, I'm on about going to matches, so being a pundit in 10 years? Absolutely not, I guarantee it."
There you have it, Keane could be out of the punditry game sooner than you think so it's best to enjoy him and his famous quips while he is still working for Sky Sports and ITV.
