Extracts from Roy Keane's new autobiography were leaked yesterday, ahead of Thursday's official release date.

A store in Manchester accidentally put the book, "The Second Half", on sale three days early.

The extracts dominate the front and back pages of the newspapers today.

Keane's acrimonious exit from Manchester United features heavily.

He details rows he had with Sir Alex Ferguson and his assistant coach Carlos Queiroz in the months and days leading up to his departure.

He says the only part of his exit he regrets is the apology he made to the pair.

Keane also denies his infamous tackle on Alfie-Inge Haaland was premeditated, but says he doesn't regret it.

He also lets rip at Fergie over the Rock of Gibralter case, saying he was "just a mascot" for the owners of the racehorse.

He talks about a fight he had with Peter Schmeichel when they were both playing.

Last season’s Man Utd squad are slated for letting David Moyes down.

And he says the Class Of 92's role at Manchester United has become exaggerated.

Despite all the drama, though, Keane says he's still a Man United fan, as is his son.

The FAI don’t escape criticism either, despite his role as the Irish assistant manager.

He says they sacked Brian Kerr as Ireland boss too early and he should have had another qualifying campaign.

But he also says Martin O'Neill gave his life back some purpose when he was asked to be his assistant for the Republic of Ireland.
