Roy Keane has admitted he is unsure if Andoni Iraola has what it takes to takeover at Manchester United<\/a>. The Bournemouth manager is on the brink of guiding the Cherries into European competition for the first time in their history.<\/p>\n

However, he will not be the one in charge next season, should they achieve that unprecedented feat, as the Spaniard confirmed he will walk away from the Vitality Stadium<\/a> at the end of the season. Iraola will be a man in demand, as he has also been linked with a move to Chelsea and Crystal Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But he is also a contender to takeover at Old Trafford<\/a>, with the club currently undecided on potentially giving interim manager Michael Carrick the position on a full-time basis. Keane, when asked if Iraola would be a good candidate, admitted he is not entirely convinced by the 43-year-old.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky Sports before United’s home clash against Liverpool<\/a>, Keane said: “I am not sure if he has done enough yet. I am sure United are obviously looking at him, his contract is up.<\/p>\n

“Would I see him come to United? Probably not. It depends I suppose on the remit, the remit obviously at Bournemouth would be slightly different to United.<\/p>\n

“At United you would be expected to win title, whereas I am sure his remit there – where he has done an amazing job, keep winning football matches while you are selling players and bringing in that type of revenue.<\/p>\n

“Would he be an option? Maybe they have spoke to him, I don’t know. You have asked me if I see him coming to United and managing United…maybe not, but he has done an amazing job.”<\/p>\n

While Iraola is only three games away from leaving his soon to be former side in European competition, the Spaniard will manage in the Champions League<\/a>, if he decides to join United. Carrick secured a huge 3-2 home victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford, which ensured the Reds will be in the most illustrious competition in European football next season.<\/p>\n

At first, United appeared to be on the brink of handing Liverpool one of their biggest defeats at Old Trafford, when Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko both found the net after only 17 minutes. However, Liverpool hit back with two quick fire goals after half time through Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo.<\/p>\n

But as the match entered the final 15 minutes, Kobbie Mainoo fired in a sumptuous half volley to ensure United went home with the three points. Before the action at Old Trafford kicked off, Iraola watched his Bournemouth side move into the top six.<\/p>\n

They overcame Crystal Palace 3-0 at the Vitality Stadium, with an own goal from Jefferson Lerma, being followed by a penalty from Junior Groupi and a second half strike from Rayan.<\/p>\n
