Man Utd boss Van Gaal confirms Keane in Sunderland squad

Will Keane is in Manchester United's squad for their clash with Sunderland.

The striker scored five times in front of Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford on Monday, as the U21s beat Norwich City 7-0.

When asked by MUTV if it was likely the 23-year-old would be involved in the first-team squad soon, van Gaal replied: "Yes, that's the reason we called him back [from a loan spell at Preston North End].

"He's always training with us, with the first selection, and he's scoring a lot of goals now. He is also in the squad tomorrow and I hope that he shall continue with scoring goals because that is very important for a striker."
