The former Sunderland and Ipswich boss who now works as Sky Sports pundit described being favourite to replace Steve Bruce at The Hawthorns as 'bizarre.'

"It's absolutely bizarre, I think the bookies play silly games with people," said Keane on Monday Night Football.

"I think I've been favourite for a few jobs over the last year it was all nonsense.

"That's the same of the speculation over the last 24hrs - absolute rubbish!"

However the former Manchester United captain didn't rule out a return to management at some stage in the future.

"That's the feeling you miss, you want go back and fix a club , you want to win football matches - everyone who goes into a job feels they can make a difference.

"It's got to be the right job at the right time - you also have to be careful what you wish for.

"I'm not going to be quick to give up what I'm doing now because I have a good life and enjoy what i do."
