Keane joins Hull City on permanent basis

Will Keane is joining Hull City on a permanent basis after the striker agreed a switch to the KCOM Stadium.

The 23-year-old scored the first goal of the Jose Mourinho era at Old Trafford, in the pre-season friendly win at Wigan Athletic, but has been allowed to leave in order to obtain first-team football.

The spearhead of the 2011 FA Youth Cup-winning team, he battled back from a serious knee injury and featured against Sunderland and Shrewsbury Town last season, only to hurt his groin while hitting the woodwork in the FA Cup fifth-round tie at the Greenhous Meadow.
