Everton in pole for Keane as Man Utd end their interest

Everton in pole for Keane as Man Utd end their interest

Everton have stepped up their interest in Burnley defender Michael Keane. The Times reports that the 24-year-old has become one of Ronald Koeman’s primary summer targets after Manchester United’s interest looks to have cooled.
 
With the Red Devils having secured the services of Swedish international Victor Lindelof, the journal understands that the England international no longer wants a move to Old Trafford where he cannot guarantee a regular starting berth.
 
Everton were looking into the possibility of signing Las Palmas player Mauricio Lemos but now the journal believes that Koeman has turned his full attention to the man who was nurtured in the youth academy at Old Trafford.
 
Liverpool and Spurs are also monitoring the situation on a player who is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract. It had seemed as though he was about to make a return to United but Jose Mourinho has bought Lindelof to be the long term partner to Eric Bailly in the heart of the defence.
