Roy Keane has hit back at Dwight Yorke after accusations that he is not suitable for club management.

The Ipswich boss was attacked by his former Manchester United teammate in the recently published book Born To Score by the Trinidad & Tobago star.

Yorke wrote in his latest autobiography that the 24/7 care of a club manager is not suited to Keane's temperament.

"Players are entitled to their opinions and selling books – that might be Yorkie’s second or third book. He must be stuck for a few bob," Keane told the BBC.

"I will take on board comments from people I respect in the game but Yorkie is someone I have not got respect for in the game.

"If Yorkie felt that way, then he was quick to sign a new contract and then didn’t try a leg in his last season at Sunderland.

"He went back playing for Trinidad for reasons not to do with football. Maybe he should put that in his book.

"I had some good days with Yorkie but not my last few months with him at Sunderland.

"I gave him another year and that was a mistake in terms of a footballing decision. His legs had gone and his appetite was gone.

"I should not have given him another year. Maybe it was loyalty or stupidity."
