MANCHESTER United are ready to cash in on striker – with old boss lining up a £6.5m bid at Sunderland.

The 23-year-old – who is also attracting interest from Stoke – is believed to want to quit Old Trafford in search for first-team football.

United chief is thought to be happy for him to leave with and ahead of Keane in the pecking order.

A United source said: “Keane would cost about £6.5m but with potential addons in the future.

“He has gone on the tour of the Far East but not really spoken to Jose yet about his role. He scored last week at Wigan.”

Kane became unhappy at United when ex-boss recalled him from a loan at Preston over Christmas with the promise of more games.

But he barely made an appearance after the emergence of England starlet Marcus Rashford.

Keane – who played for England at Under-21 level – has had loan spells at Wigan, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday.

He has played just twice for United since breaking through their academy in 2011.
