Burnley manager Dyche praises 'steady' and 'respectful' Keane

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has credited his defender Michael Keane for the progress he has made since joining the Clarets from Manchester United in 2015.

The 24-year-old, who failed to break through into United's senior squad during his time with the club, recently earned his first England call-up on the back of his performances for Burnley this season.

"He's a pretty steady lad, he's very respectful of the team around him and the staff and how they've tried to help him," said Dyche.

"He's developed well over the last two-and-a-half-seasons and I'm pleased because part of my sales pitch to get him here was that he'd be in a group that would develop and he'd be a big part of that.

"So I'm pleased from our point of view that it rang true for him, but he still deserves a lot of credit, the team is the most important thing but you still need individuals to perform and he's done that."
