Rio Ferdinand says he would 'love' to see Roy Keane take charge at Sunderland as he believes the former Manchester United midfielder has the 'charisma' and 'ability' to succeed at the club.
However, he suspects Keane may have to adapt his managerial ‘approach’ to deal with the modern-day footballers - claiming the next generation of stars are 'wired very differently’.
Nevertheless, the League One club are extremely interested in signing Keane as their new manager following the sacking of Lee Johnson last month. Both parties are said to be embroiled in negotiations over the vacant role.
