Michael Keane 'flattered' by interest from Premier League big boys

However, despite reported interest from the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, the Burnley defender insists he is happy at Turf Moor.

The 24-year-old, who was praised by Gareth Southgate for his performance in a three-man defence against Germany on Wednesday, also added he felt he had to prove himself after being sold by Manchester United.

The defender was sold by former Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal but has been a mainstay under Sean Dyche at his new club this season, and his form resulted in his first England cap in Dortmund.

"It's flattering to see, but I'm focused on Burnley," Keane said. "We've got nine games left in the season and we need to make sure we remain in the league.

"But to see things like that can only mean you're playing well."

Keane added: "I always thought, personally, that I was going to make it at United. A few changes in managers didn't help, so when I left, I felt like I had a point to prove.

"If anything [leaving United] made me work that bit harder. I'm thankful to [manager] Sean Dyche at Burnley for the work he's done with me and the faith he's put in me - that's what has got me to where I am today."
