Will Keane has been named in the United squad for the trip to Sunderland tomorrow. It's just reward for two fine performances this week, first a five goal haul against Norwich on Monday, followed by a very different experience of playing the lone striker role in a tight game against city last night, with the Reds won 1-0.
Few would have given Keane a chance of returning to the United senior squad until recently. His sole first team appearance came more than five years ago, after all. An injury on international duty meant he missed the entire 2012-13 season and the spectacular rise of James Wilson in the academy during that time appeared to call time on United's career.
This season he went on a season-long loan to Preston and many assumed that would lead to a permanent move away from Old Trafford. However, tremendous form for the Under 21s since he was called back from his loan just over a month ago means Keane, now 23, has a chance of resurrecting a United career that had looked dead in the water.
