Michael Keane’s prospective move to Manchester United appears unlikely to materialise with the England defender eager to ensure regular football ahead of next year’s World Cup.
United’s £30million capture of Victor Lindelof has changed the picture.
While the Old Trafford club remain interested in also securing their former academy graduate, Keane is understood to have cooled on the move.
The 24-year-old will only leave Burnley for a club where he is convinced he will play and Everton have now re-emerged as the favourites to land the centre-back.
