Manchester United legend Roy Keane has been impressed by Sunderland prospect Jobe Bellingham.

However, the former Sunderland manager says Bellingham will need patience and support from those working with him.

"He's got a chance the kid. The problem is obviously we're all going to be putting pressure on him," Keane said on ITV Sport.

"He's playing week in week out in championship, which is never easy.

"The coach is there. He's obviously got a good relationship, that's gonna help him settle into the club, the talk about his mentality is going to be huge.

"So it's a big opportunity for him today playing against obviously a very good team in the Premiership."

Asked about comparisons with older brother Jude of Real Madrid, Keane continued: "That's part of the challenge for him and that's where his family comes into it.

"Yeah, he'll be getting plaudits from people like us who played the game. But he's got to stay level headed, which he will do.

"That's where the family come into it don't be getting carried away. He's a young kid. He's learning his trade he's playing week in week out. Go and enjoy yourself."
