Manchester United fans are keen for young striker Will Keane to get a chance to shine in the senior squad - after he scored five goals last night for the U21 team.
Keane was the main attacking threat as United U21's beat Norwich U21's 7-0; his cheeky chip for his fourth goal was the highlight of the night.

Given that Louis van Gaal’s senior squad are far from free-scoring, many are suggesting the 23-year-old should be given a run with the senior players.
Will Keane is way too good to be playing U-21 football. Waste of his talents.

Keane has only played six minutes of first-team football for Manchester United and has recently returned from an unsuccessful loan spell with Preston North End.

But a few more performances like this will surely earn him another try on a bigger stage.
