Man Utd striker Keane happy with Scholes praise

Manchester United striker Will Keane is delighted with the praise from teammate Paul Scholes.

Scholes worked with Keane while he was coaching the reserves earlier this season.

Scholes praised Keane towards the end of last year in an interview with United Review, saying: "I think he's capable of being a top centre-forward. He's got all the style and skill. His touch and movement are right. When he's on song and plays with a bit of aggression, he's unplayable at times."

The kind words from a legend in the game who monitored all the youngsters closely when working alongside Warren Joyce went down well with the 19-year-old hitman.

"It's always nice for people of Paul Scholes' calibre to give me confidence like that," he explained on MUTV. "It makes me want to show what he said was right. It's very nice to hear."
