"He needs a bit of luck with injuries but he is a fit lad and looks after himself so well.
"When you get to your 30s you do tailor your game a bit differently, every player has done that and I think we will see Roy change a little bit."
“Roy has this incredible dynamo inside him. He can play anywhere he wants - defence, midfield or attack - because he has got something others have not.”
“He has a great knowledge of the game and has the energy, enthusiasm and drive to play anywhere.
"I think the area where Roy is maybe trying to change himself is how he can play in a role which will control the team better.
"We had him sitting in centre midfield a couple of times last season to great effect. He did very well but we all know that Roy's natural enthusiasm will not always allow him to do that.
"His impatience to see the space and go forward will always be there.
"He wants to get the same out of his team-mates that he gives himself. He realises not everybody can be like him and that is what I say about myself when I see Roy Keane.
"I try to get a team out on the pitch to mirror me, and that is what Roy is trying to do.
"He wants everybody to be like Roy Keane but not everybody can be like that. It is not so much his standards, but his drive which does that. He doesn't want to lose and his personality can rise above all the rest of the players in the sense of his keenness to do things.
"All good teams have different personalities and characters in them who do things in different ways. Roy has his way and I don't really want to see him change.
"We are delighted to have him back."
