Manchester United forward Will Keane is having a medical at Hull City ahead of a permanentmove to the KC Stadium, according to Sky Sports.
Hull boss Mike Phelan has said that he wants to bring in as many as six players before the transfer window closes, with his squad consisting of just 13 fully fit players.

Phelan worked with Keane when he was a coach under Sir Alex Ferguson at United and is well aware of the player's abilities. Hull have been pretty resilient this season, having won their first two games and holding out until stoppage time in a loss against the Red Devils, but they desperately need a few more squad members.
Keane, meanwhile, has made just three senior appearances at United, with two of them coming last season. He has been sent out on loan to Championship sidesWigan, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston North End, where he spent the first half of the last campaign.
He scored twice in 22 games for Preston, and was recalled to United by Louis van Gaal. Keane also scored the first goal of Jose Mourinho's Manchester United reign, bagging a strike against Wigan in the side's first pre-season game.
The Portuguese boss has seen firsthand what Marcus Rashford is capable of, with the youngster scoring that injury-time winner against Hull on Saturday. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial all available as striking options, it's clear that Keane does not have a future at Old Trafford.
