Will Keane To Have Medical Ahead Of Hull City Move

Manchester United striker Will Keane is to have a medical ahead of a permanent transfer to Hull City, Sky sources understand.

Tigers boss Mike Phelan said last week that he wanted to add as many as six new players to his paper-thin squad before Wednesday's transfer deadline.

Phelan worked with Keane when he was on the coaching staff at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 23-year-old academy graduate has only made three appearances for United's senior team, two of those coming last season.

He has been out on loan with four different Sky Bet Championship sides - Wigan, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday and, most recently, spending the first half of last season with Preston North End.

The England U21 international scored twice in 22 games at Deepdale before being recalled by then United boss Louis van Gaal.

Keane also scored the first goal of Jose Mourinho's reign when he netted in pre-season against Wigan.
