United are understood to have a 25 per cent sell-on clause standing from that deal, meaning they would be due a quarter of any fee paid to re-sign Keane back.

The centre-back will be leaving Burnley this summer, according to Sky sources, despite manager Sean Dyche insisting the Clarets are under no pressure to sell their prize asset and have yet to receive any bids.
