Manchester United striker Will Keane believes he has has done well in the Sky Bet Championship while on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.

Keane, twin brother of Burnley defender Michael, has scored three goals in six appearances for Wednesday since arriving from Old Trafford in January and feels previous loan spells at Wigan and QPR have stood him in good stead.

"I think I've taken to it quite well," said the 22-year-old, despite the disappointment of Wednesday night's home defeat to Blackburn.

"I had the experience of being on loan last year so I'm used to the physicality of it. It's a tough league to play in.

"But the players around me have helped me a lot and I think the two recent wins have helped with our confidence and all the lads have got a bit of belief.

"We've just got to keep pushing on. We were unlucky against Blackburn. We know we have to do better, but I'm really enjoying it."

Keane, who has made one league appearance for United since progressing through the club's academy, is scheduled to stay with Wednesday until the end of the season.
