Former Manchester United striker Will Keane is seeking a new club after leaving Preston North End when his contract expired. His early United career was disrupted by a serious ACL injury that kept him out for around 15 to 16 months, followed by another ACL rupture soon after his 2016 move to Hull City, costing him a further 14 months and hindering his Premier League prospects. Keane later rebuilt his career in the EFL, scoring 27 goals in 50 appearances as Wigan Athletic won League One in 2021/22 and finishing as Preston's leading scorer in 2023/24. After a less productive spell at Preston and a loan at Reading, the 33-year-old is training with the PFA and remains optimistic that he can regain his form and contribute for several more seasons.
