Hi guys, We (Leicester) have just signed Michael Keane and Jesse Lingard on loan from you. Can you shed any light on how good they may/may not be? Must admit, while I had heard of Keane, I hadn't heard of Lingard until I saw his name on your bench the other week. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Keane has bags of potential, he's a solid defender who is comfortable with the ball at his feet and he is improving quickly with every game he plays, he recently started the Capital One Cup game against a strong Chelsea team and had a very good game, I think you have got a real gem with that lad. As for Lingard, he's a player I honestly didn't think was going to last at United, he always worked his socks off but he was very inconsistent and often did nothing, but the past year or so he has really improved his game, he has a good turn of pace, he's a decent finisher and he's willing to run at defenders, I'll be interested to see how he does playing regular first team football.
Thanks Psycho2k We only have both for a month, but maybe we will try and extend it if they do well for us. Keane was throwns straight in and started for us last night, only played 57 minutes but I think he just picked up a knock. I didn't see any of the game, but we didn't concede so can't have done badly! Lingard only came on int he 85th minute, hoping to see more of him over the coming weeks!
Keane is stronger than Wootton and he seems comfortable with the ball and can make good runs forward like Luiz or Phil Jones.
