RUMOURS: Moyes to launch bid for Manchester United striker Keane

The out-of-favour 23-year-old forward wants to leave Old Trafford in pursuit of regular first-team football and has also reportedly attracted interest from Stoke City

New Sunderland boss David Moyes is lining up a £6.5 million bid for Manchester United striker Will Keane, according to The Sun.

The 23-year-old is ready to leave Old Trafford in order to secure regular first-team football and has also attracted interest from Stoke City.

Jose Mourinho is believed to be willing to allow the out-of-favour striker to leave the club.

Keane has made just three senior appearances for United including his debut under Sir Alex Ferguson all the way back in 2011. He scored two goals in 22 outings during his loan spell with Preston North End last season.
