Burnley defender Keane: Van Gaal wrong about me

Burnley defender Michael Keane has rapped former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

His Old Trafford career came to an abrupt end in September 2014 - albeit on a temporary basis to begin with.

Days earlier Keane had played in Manchester United's 4-0 EFL Cup mauling at the hands of MK Dons.

He told The Guardian: "After that [MK Dons game], I was on international duty with the Under-21s.

"It was transfer deadline day and I got a phone call saying Burnley wanted to take me.

"It was a bit harsh [from Van Gaal], judging me on one game, but I suppose when you are coming through at Man United you know if you get that chance you need to take it.

"I did well in the other games I played, it was just that one game when everyone was bad."
