Burnley defender Michael Keane: This killed my Man Utd career

Burnley defender Michael Keane admits his Manchester United career was "killed" by MK Dons.

Keane played in the infamous 4-0 League Cup embarrassment at MK Dons.

It was a night that Keane believes killed a United career he had worked so hard to build.

'It was a nightmare and that was the day when Louis van Gaal decided to sell a lot of players," he told the Daily Mail. "I really believe that if I had been given the chance to play in a stronger team, I could have proved myself.

"On the pre-season tour his (Van Gaal's) coaches were telling me he really liked me.

"But the team didn't start well and the MK game just killed me. So it wasn't to be but that's fine. I have absolutely no regrets."
