Preston v Burnley: North End loanee Will Keane now supports twin brother Michael and Clarets ahead of Championship clash
MICHAEL KEANE has trolled Preston North End fans by declaring his twin brother
Will is now a BUNRLEY fan.
Will, 23, is back at Manchester
United after a loan spell at Deepdale earlier this season.
He even scored
FOR Preston against Burnley — as his brother slid in to block the shot
— and North End came away with all three points from Turf Moor in the
Lancashire derby.
And now with Michael getting ready to face Burnley in tonight’s crucial
Championship promotion match at Preston, he has warned home fans his brother
no longer even supports them.
But the defender, who moved permanently to Sean Dyche’s side from Old Trafford
in January last year, is also relieved he is not facing his twin tonight.
Michael Keane said: “He’s not involved anymore but I’m glad he’s not playing.
“It was disappointing when they came here and did a job on us but hopefully
we’ll go there, put in a good performance like we did on Tuesday and get a
result.
“He’s turned into a Burnley fan now for the last few games so he’s rooting for
us.”
The Clarets are in a nail-biting three horse race for two automatic promotion
places to the Premier League.
Middlesbrough are currently the leaders on 86 points, with Burnley on 84, just
pipping Brighton to second on goal difference.

and Middlesbrough.
“But whatever we do will be for ourselves rather than anyone else.”
