Roy Keane has joked that Kevin De Bruyne should consider joining Manchester United \u2013 because he wouldn\u2019t need to move house.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Manchester City playmaker will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.<\/p>\n

The Premier League side have decided to let the Belgian seek pastures new after a decade of success together. It leaves the two-time PFA Player of the Year seeking a new employer with clubs in England, the MLS and Saudi Arabia all touted as targets.<\/p>\n

De Bruyne has proved to be among the best foreign imports in the history of England\u2019s top flight and, despite a dip this season, has continued to produce for City en route to numerous pieces of silverware.<\/p>\n

Shay Given claimed that Pep Guardiola and those at the Etihad will be concerned that a Premier League rival could swoop in and sign the Belgian before Keane joked that, for convenience, a move to Old Trafford should be on his mind.<\/p>\n

The ex-goalkeeper said on Sky Sports: \u201cKevin will admit he is not at his peak but you can see he still has a lot to offer. He can turn up at another Premier League club and that is a concern for City.\u201d Keane interrupted and suggested: \u201cUnited? He wouldn\u2019t have to move house.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Bruyne has spent a bulk of this season out injured but has scored more than 100 times for City, whilst also being named the club\u2019s Player of the Season on four years. He confessed recently that it was the club\u2019s decision not to table a new offer \u2013 which was something of a surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not had any offer the whole year, they just took a decision,\u201d said De Bruyne. \u201cObviously, I was a bit surprised but I just have to accept it. Honestly, I still think I can perform at this level like I\u2019m showing, but I understand clubs have to make decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has backed himself to continue competing and prolonging his career in Europe would allow him to play at the highest level rather than enjoying the twilight years of his career in the United States or the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I still have a lot to give,\u201d De Bruyne said. \u201cObviously I know I\u2019m not 25 any more but I still feel like I can do my job. I\u2019m open for anything. I have to look at the whole picture. I\u2019m looking at sporting, family, everything together, what makes the most sense for me and my family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to play football. I like to compete. That\u2019s what I feel, so I can\u2019t say that I want to quit because I still feel that whenever I\u2019m in training I want to beat the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
