Manchester United want to re-sign Michael Keane but Burnley are holding out for £25m... 10 times more than he cost Clarets when he left Old Trafford

Manchester United have shown an interest in re-signing Michael Keane two years after selling the central defender to Burnley for £2.5million.

Everton are leading the pursuit for Keane with Liverpool and Chelsea also monitoring the situation but United have now placed their former academy graduate on a list of summer targets.

Jose Mourinho has suffered the double blow of losing Chris Smalling and Phil Jones to 'long-term' injuries and wants to bolster his defence in any case.
