Club career

Manchester United

After being named as an unused substitute for a 2–1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2010–11 Premier League on 5 February 2011^[4] and a 3–0 win over Aldershot Town in the fourth round of the 2011–12 Football League Cup on 25 October 2011,^[5] Keane made his professional debut on 31 December 2011 in a 3–2 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, coming on as a late substitute for Rafael.^[6]

International career

Keane made his debut for the England under-16 team in a 3–1 win against Russia in 2009. He scored one goal in three appearances for the side. He was part of the England under-17 team that won the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, appearing in the final. He made a total of fifteen appearances and scored three goals for the team. He then progressed to the under-19 side where he made six appearances and scored one goal. He received a call up to the under-21 side managed by Stuart Pearce in November 2011, and received praise from Manchester United reserve team manager Warren Joyce, with Joyce saying Keane deserved the call up after his good form for the reserve team.^[7] He made his first appearance during a 5–0 win against Iceland, coming off the bench to replace Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran in the 78th minute. He appeared in the following game four days later against Belgium, this time coming on as a sub for Marvin Sordell of Bolton Wanderers. On 25 May 2012, he scored twice as England under-19s beat Slovenia 5–0 at Deepdale.^[8]
