Burnley have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Manchester United defender Michael Keane.

The 21-year-old moved to Turf Moor on loan at the end of the summer transfer window, and Burnley manager Sean Dyche has repeatedly revealed his intentions to bring him to the club on a permanent basis.

According to Goal.com, a transfer fee has been agreed between the two clubs, and Keane has now been given the green light to discuss personal terms with the Clarets.

Academy graduates Tyler Blackett and Paddy McNair have managed to break into United's first-team squad this season, but the club are still reported to be in the market for a central defender, meaning that chances would be rare for Keane at Old Trafford.

Keane has made 11 appearances in all competitions for Burnley this season.
