Roy Keane admits he is not the player he once was since returning from a hip
injury that almost ended his career.

The Manchester United captain announced his international retirement with
the Republic of Ireland earlier this month after revealing his body could no
longer stand up to the demands of playing at the top level for both club and
country.

And the midfielder concedes he has been forced to change his dynamic style
of play because of the injury and adopt more of a defensive role.

The switch was evident in Wednesday's Champions League win over Juventus at
Old Trafford and the Irishman said: "That's the way I'll probably have to
carry on playing from now on.

"But I think that suits me now and it suits the team. You can't have
everyone going gung-ho all the time."

Keane added in the Daily Mirror: "Before I ran around and tried to do
everything. Now I'm trying to use my head a bit more.

"Injuries are part and parcel of football and I've had my fair share. But I
feel quite good now. I might not show it at times, but I feel okay."
