Man United set to re-sign Keane for £25m





Popular club Manchester United are set to re-sign Michael Keane from Burnley in a £25million deal this summer.
It’s understood that United have emerged as clear favourites to take the 24-year-old England centre-back back to Old Trafford.
Keane has developed into one of the Premier League’s most highly-rated defenders since leaving United to join Burnley for £2m in January 2015.
United included a clause in the deal entitling them to 25 per cent of any sell-on fee, so they will have to pay less for Keane than any of their rivals.
Keane, who has continued to live in Manchester and is a boyhood United fan, can expect to quadruple his £25,000-a-week wages if he returns to a club that he first joined at the age of 11.
Louis van Gaal allowed him to go to Burnley on loan before sanctioning a permanent move to Turf Moor.
However, Jose Mourinho has identified Keane among several players that should have been retained by his predecessor, and has made him one of his top summer targets alongside Romelu Lukaku and Antoine Griezmann.
The move is bound to raise questions after United paid a world record £89m last summer to sign Paul Pogba, four years after selling him to Juventus for £800,000.
But it’s understood there are no qualms among the Old Trafford hierarchy about re-signing Keane who made his England debut against Germany in March.
