Source:Live Radio,

Roy Keane has revealed the one thing he wished he had done during his decorated career.

The seven-time Premier League winner and four-time FA Cup champion achieved a myriad of accolades and awards during his 17-year playing career.

He would go on to make 480 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 51 goals in the process.

The Irish midfielder then played out his final season at Celtic - the club he had supported as a child.

The Premier League Hall-of-Famer is also a national icon, and he is the joint most successful Irish football of all time.

But for all his successes, Keane has now admitted there was one thing he was never quite able to do.

Keane joined Ian Wright, Jill Scott, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher on the Stick to Football podcast to discuss his United career and his management days, amongst other things.

And when the 52-year-old was posed a question about what the hardest thing he had ever had to do in has career was, his answer proved to be particularly illuminating.

But the Irishman has revealed he had the chance to don the black and white shirt himself "Probably leaving United at the time," he replied. "That was probably hard."

But the question led Keane into another area of discussion as he discussed the options he had after leaving the Red Devils.

Roy Keane recalls being chucked through a pub window, but still kept hold of his bottle of wine after just moving to Manchester United from Nottingham Forest He went on: "Talking about decisions also, I definitely should've gone abroad. I had opportunities to play abroad.

"I should've been brave enough to have gone over and played in Italy or Germany or Spain, and I had the opportunity."

And when pressed to name a team that he could have gone to, Keane said there was one club that immediately came to mind.

"Do you know, I always had a soft spot for Juventus," he revealed. "And they offered my a deal but I remember the deal wasn't, kind of... At the time thinking it wasn't amazing, I was going for an amazing deal.

"The club that offered me the most amazing deal ever was Bayern Munich.

"And then when I left United I went up to Celtic and I could've gone to Real Madrid for a year and a half, they offered me a year and a half.

"Celtic, it was emotional. I was fine making those kind of decisions, I was 34, I just thought, will I go to Madrid and make an impact?"
