Hull City sign Will Keane from Manchester United

Hull City have announced the signing of striker Will Keane from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old came through the ranks at Old Trafford before making his senior debut under Sir Alex Ferguson in December 2011.

However, he failed to establish himself in the first team under Ferguson, David Moyes or Louis van Gaal, and has now been allowed to leave the club on a permanent basis by Jose Mourinho following a string of loan spells at the likes of Wigan Athletic, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston North End.

"I'm delighted to move here. It's a fresh start and a new challenge for me, so I'm really looking forward to getting things underway," he told the club's official website.

Keane made just three senior appearances for United in all competitions, failing to score in that time.
