Football manager legends can be found across all corners of footballing history but few names are as synonymous with the beautiful game than Roy Keane's former club side Manchester United.

The Old Trafford outfit have had their fair share of managerial success stories over the years and none more so than during Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure between 1986-2013. During his time at Old Trafford, 'Fergie' won an impressive 38 trophies including a record-breaking 19 Premier League titles - something that still stands to this day.

Keane himself was no stranger to success having had the privilege of playing under both Sir Alex and eventually alongside him as Ferguson's number one choice in midfield. The former professional player went on to become an integral part of United's dominant side throughout the late nineties into the early 2000s, winning a host of domestic and European honors during his time at Old Trafford.

One particular piece of kit that many football fans will remember Keane for is without doubt his infamous red and white Manchester United away shirt. The iconic strip has become an integral part of both club history as well as individual legend status thanks in large down to the likes of Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs amongst others who donned it with pride throughout their careers at Old Trafford.

Fast forward nearly two decades later however times have certainly changed within football management circles. With clubs now willing to spend big sums on top talent from around Europe and beyond - something that Sir Alex himself was known for during his time as United boss, many fans will question whether Ke Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's current crop of players possess the same hunger and fighting spirit which helped drive Manchester City so close to claiming their first ever Premier League title back in 2011/12.

In conclusion then while football may have moved on leaps and bounds since Roy Keane hung up his boots for good, there remains no doubt that both he - along with many other former United players who followed suit during that successful era at Old Trafford - will forever remain etched within the annals of Manchester United's rich club history.
