Manchester United captain Roy Keane has denied assaulting a 16-year-old boy.

The 33-year-old Irish international, who appeared briefly in court on Thursday, also denied causing criminal damage and using threatening or abusive behaviour, a court official said.

Police sources say the charges relate to a fight with a 16-year-old boy near Keane's home in the wealthy Manchester neighbourhood of Hale.

The case at Trafford, Greater Manchester, was adjourned until October 21. Keane was released on bail.
