Roy Keane has set a timeframe on his retirement plans from punditry following his shocking incident with a fan.
Keane clashed with a supporter following Arsenal's dramatic 3-1 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates last season.
The Gunners bagged two stoppage-time goals to secure a famous victory over their old rivals.

After the match, as Keane made his way back to Sky Sports' studio for post-match analysis, a fan attacked the former Red Devils captain.
He was in court earlier this year, with the fan found guilting of headbutting Keane, resulting in a three-year football banning order.
Keane not only provides expert punditry for Sky Sports but also for ITV, where he was a part of the company's Euro 2024 coverage this summer.

The Irishman has become a regular staple on our screens over the years, with fans loving his ruthless take on the hottest topics in football.
But Keane, who turned 53 last weekend, doesn't see himself doing the gig into his 60s as he referenced his incident with the Arsenal supporter.
"I don’t think I’ll be doing punditry in 10 years' time," he said on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet.
"I love football but the hassle of matches, getting to games and the hassle of fans - I was in court a few months ago with somebody headbutting me - do you think I enjoy that side of it? Absolutely not."

Keane added: "The games are fine. Getting to the games, parking up, people shouting your name - good stuff, bad stuff - it’s a nuisance. Being a pundit in 10 years, not."
He debuted as a pundit in 2011 after calling time on his playing career in 2006.
A return to management could be on the cards once he quits being a pundit, having previously managed Sunderland and Ipswich Town.
