Career
Club career
Manchester United
Keane signed professional forms at Manchester United on his 18th birthday on 11 January 2011 and made his senior debut in the League Cup on 25 October 2011, coming as a substitute in the 70th minute in United's fourth round victory over Aldershot Town.[2] On 28 January 2012 he was again named on the bench, this time against rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup. However he was an unused substitute and the match finished 2–1 to Liverpool.[3]
He made his debut against Newcastle United in the League Cup on 26 September 2012, alongside Scott Wootton as a centre-back.[4] Following the match, teammate Darren Fletcher praised him for being "fantastic".[5]
Loan to Leicester City
On 6 November 2012, Keane alongside his teammate Jesse Lingard joined Leicester City on loan until 3 December 2012.[6][7] This was later extended to 2 January 2013.[8] Keane made his debut for Leicester City on 6 November 2012, in a 0–0 draw away to Bolton Wanderers.[9] On 4 January 2013, Keane extended his stay at Leicester until the end of January and was given permission by United to play in the FA Cup for Leicester.[10] On 24 January 2013, Keane extended his stay at Leicester until the end of the season. On 12 February, Keane scored his first senior goal, in a 2–1 defeat to Huddersfield Town in the fourth round of the FA Cup.[11] On 5 March, he scored a 90th minute header against Leeds United to gain Leicester a point in a 1–1 draw.[12]
International career
Although he was born in England, Keane is of Irish ancestry, making him eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland national team. He has represented Ireland at under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels, but he expressed his desire to play for the England under-19 team and hoped to be included in the squad for the friendly against the Czech Republic in February 2012.[13] He made his debut for the under-19 team on 25 May 2012, in a 5–0 win against Slovenia during which his brother Will scored twice.[14] He was named in manager Noel Blake's squad for the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship,[15] and helped England reach the semi-finals.[16] On 25 March 2013, Keane made his debut for the England under-21 team, replacing Andre Wisdom in the 77th minute of a 4–0 win against Austria at the Falmer Stadium.[17]
