Joyce feels Keane, Lingard ready for Man Utd chance

Manchester United U21 coach Warren Joyce feels for Jesse Lingard as the midfielder waits for his club debut.

Michael Keane also deserves his chance, argues Joyce.

He told manutd.com: "People like Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane have been out there on loan, taking a different route, and sometimes you just need to have a bit of luck and be in the right place at the right time in football. At clubs like this, you have got to make the most of your opportunities.

"I think both Jesse and Michael have done really well out on loan. Jesse is a very clever footballer who does a lot of the right things. I am sure he can play in the Premier League. I feel for players like that as I want them to do well.

"I look at players at other clubs and don't think they're necessarily as good as people like Jesse and Michael. It's about being fortunate enough to get a chance and then grabbing it with both hands."
