Simpson eager to learn from Keane

Simpson also worked with Keane at Manchester United

Sunderland's on-loan defender Danny Simpson believes he can learn a lot from manager Roy Keane during his time at the club.

Simpson, 20, signed from Manchester United until the end of the season during the January transfer window.

He told BBC Radio Newcastle: "The boss wants to get the best out of everyone, and to play under him is amazing."

"He's a legend and I want to learn from him, take everything he says on board, and improve my game."

The right-back also insisted that Sunderland's promotion challenge was more important to him than Manchester United's Premiership title push.

"We want to win games, and if things go well we can get promoted. The manager wants people to give 110 per cent and that's the kind of player I am," he added.
