​Manchester United are set to profit from any sale of Michael Keane if the Burnley star departs Turf Moor, according to the ​Daily Mail.





The Red Devils are believed to have inserted a 20% sell-on clause in Keane's contract upon selling the 23-year-old to the Clarets for £2.5m in September 2014.





However, the Mail's report contradicts claims made by ​the Sun last Friday, who alleged that Burnley would keep all of the proceeds from any potential transfer of the centre-half, and that Manchester United were 'kicking themselves' over not including any clause that would entitle them to a portion of the transfer fee.

Burnley are ready to hand Keane a new five-year deal to remain at Turf Moor, but could be resigned to him leaving instead.





Keane currently has 18 months left on his deal in the North West of England, and Burnley could look to cash in on their prized asset in the next 12 months to prevent him leaving on a free transfer in June 2018.





Leicester City and Chelsea are rumoured to be monitoring Keane's situation after being heavily linked with a move for him throughout the summer months.

The defending Premier League champions are said to have had an £11m offer rejected by Burnley manager Sean Dyche in the latter stages of the transfer window, while Blues boss Antonio Conte is eyeing the former Derby loanee as a potential long-term replacement for captain John Terry.





Keane, who made five senior appearances for Manchester United before his departure from Old Trafford, has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for Burnley so far this term.

The ex-Blackburn Rovers and Leicester loan star has figured in all seven of Burnley's Premier League matches in 2016/17, and has earned rave reviews for his display at the heart of the defence.





His form earned him an international call-up to the senior England side during the October international break, with interim manager Gareth Southgate handing Keane an opportunity to impress after Glen Johnson withdrew from the squad with injury.
