The Academy graduate has been working hard in the last few weeks in order to secure a berth in the starting line-up that plays against the Blues tonight.
Manchester United have a long history of developing quality products in their youth setup and one of the finest to have come through in recent years is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Keane, the centre-back that also travelled with the first-team squad during the summer.
Having impressed Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 in the heart of the backline, Keane could be in line to continue his promotion up the defensive ladder after taking to the pitch against Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup.
The player was one of many names that made their official debuts for the club that day and having secured a win against the Magpies, their reward is chance to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at Stamford Bridge tonight.
Fergie will in all likelihood start Scott Wootton alongside Keane in London and could also hand midfielders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 some much needed game time.
Youngsters will particularly be thrilled with the chance to star in such a high profile clash and Keane for one is relishing it, claiming that he had worked very hard over the past few days in order to be considered for a starting role.
"I was so tired after the Newcastle tie. I've never been that tired after a game, mentally as well as physically because of the concentration. How the day went building up to it, and then the 90 minutes, was tough, but we did well. When you play a few games,
it gives you a good taste of first-team football and it just makes you want to play more.”
He also added that the competition for a position in the line-up was high but considering how much effort he had put in practice, he could have enhanced his reputation in front of the coaches.
"I know there's probably only going to be one or two opportunities because of the players involved, but I can't think like that. I've just got to work hard every day in training and prove I'm good enough to play and, hopefully, get picked."
