Roy Keane: "I have never spoken about getting Nicky Butt here, he's a good lad, but I made a point of telling him last week that he should carry on playing.
"He'll have plenty of options to keep playing up in the Manchester area. There's about 20 clubs around there and loads of Premiership clubs.
"The type of experience and character that Nicky has would be vital, but to say we're going to sign Nicky Butt would be way off the mark, I have to say."
