Roy to call Haaland for FA case

Roy Keane could cause a stir by calling Manchester City's Alfie Haaland as a key witness at his disciplinary hearing.

The Manchester United captain will appeal against two Football Association disrepute charges in a fortnight and could face a lengthy suspension if found guilty.

The charges arise from claims made in Keane's autobiography that his challenge on Haaland two seasons ago was deliberate and premeditated. But since then the Norwegian has claimed on his personal website that the tackle did not cause his long injury lay-off.

Keane's tackle caught him above the right knee, but Haaland played again a week later, and has since been sidelined and had surgery on his left knee. It is being reported Haaland could be called by Keane to back up the claims.

Meanwhile, Gary Neville, who has been out after breaking his foot, could be in line for his first start for four months tomorrow as United look to protect their 100 per cent Champions League record against Olympiakos at Old Trafford.

Boss Alex Ferguson has several niggling injury worries, including Ruud van Nistelrooy (hamstring), Nicky Butt (back), Juan Sebastian Veron (flu) and Mikael Silvestre (knee), but expects them all to be fit.
