In the summer, Keane could return to Manchester United, but moved from Burnley to Everton for 25 million pounds.
"MJ maintained contact with my agent and actively showed interest in me. But I thought that Everton would be the best option for me, "- said Keane The Times.
"I thought that in Everton I would get a lot of playing time - probably more than in Manchester United. This played a very important role in the decision-making process. To be honest, for three years in Burnley, I became less sick for MJ than before. I no longer supported the club in such a vigorous way and had to decide what would be better for me personally ".
"It was not easy to deny MJ, my whole family is sick for him. My father would be very happy with such a transfer. But he is pleased that I moved to Everton, not Liverpool ".
Michael is a pupil of the MJ. He played 5 matches for the first team of the club, after which he went to Burnley, where he spent 3 years and deserved a challenge to the England team.
Keen will get a chance to play against his former team today. The beginning of the meeting Manchester United & mdash; Everton - at 18:00 Kiev time.
