Man Utd chiefs frustrated as Chelsea close on Burnley defender Keane

Manchester United chiefs are frustrated over the emergence of Michael Keane at Burnley.

The Sun says they are “kicking themselves" for NOT putting a sell-on clause in £25m-rated new England defender Keane's contract when he moved to Burnley.

The 23-year-old centre-back is having a break-out season in the Premier League and has been linked with a mega-bucks move to Chelsea in January.

A United insider revealed: “The club is kicking themselves over it and some people are now keeping their heads down.

“There is a fear they could be hearing 'we told you so' in the near future. He has always been highly-rated by United's reserve coaches."
