Will Keane hits hat-trick for Manchester United Under-21s

Recently-recalled Manchester United forward Will Keane scored a hat-trick in the club's Under-21 win over their Reading counterparts on Monday evening.

Keane, 23, spent the first half of this season on loan at Preston North End, before he was recalled to Man United earlier this month.

The striker was on the bench for the FA Cup third-round clash with Sheffield United at the weekend and has been tipped to play a part for the first team in the remainder of the season.

Keane will have done his chances no harm at all after scoring three times in Man United's 3-1 win, which saw them move into second position in the table.

Adnan Januzaj, who has also just returned from a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, was also expected to face Reading's Under-21 side, but the Belgian was not deemed fit enough by first-team boss Louis van Gaal.
