So, you know how everyone was saying Manchester United needed a striker, and Van Gaal responded by selling Chicharito and Robin van Persie, loaning out Adnan Januzaj and James Wilson and refusing to replace any of them? Yeah, that was stupid. Anyways, it looks as if he may have done one thing right by recalling Will Keane from loan.
Will Keane scored five goals against Norwich in an U-21's match today, including one world-class chipped goal. Maybe it's time to give the kid a shot Louis?

Keane has been a part of the youth setup since age 11 (along with his twin brother Michael, who now plays for Burnley), and he was actually considered to be one of the brightest talents out of the academy. He made his first-team debut way back in 2011 against Blackburn Rovers, but an anterior cruciate ligament injury halted his progress significantly. He has since spent the last couple of seasons on loan trying to get back to his best.
Judging by this video, it looks like he may be getting close. He has been on the bench for the first team on a few occasions this season, but he has yet to make another senior appearance since he came on in the Blackburn match. Seeing as how Will Keane scored five goals in one game, it's only a matter of time before he does.
