Roy keen to keep Reds' duo
Sunderland boss Roy Keane is hoping United pair Jonny Evans and
Danny Simpson will be part of his Premiership plans next
season.
The defensive duo have sparkled during their loan spell at the
Stadium of Light as the Black Cats sealed the Championship title
and promotion to English football's top flight.
Both players will now return to Old Trafford and at present Keane
is unsure whether or not he'll be able to call on them come
August.
"I have to say they are two top lads and it would be fantastic if
we could get them next season," insisted Keane. "But ultimately
they are Manchester United players and there is no getting away
from that, we knew that when we took them.
"It is has been a win-win situation for everybody. It has been a
great experience for the two lads to come here as I am not sure
they would have played many first-team games at United.
"They have come to Sunderland, they have played regular first-team
football, they have got used to playing in front of big crowds, and
our fans are very demanding.
"If they make it at United, they will find exactly the same, so it
has been a fantastic deal for both clubs and for both players.
Jonny and Danny have been absolutely fantastic and a credit to
themselves," added the former Reds' skipper.
