Michael Keane has admitted he would love to come back to Leicester City for another loan spell next season.
The 20-year-old has thoroughly enjoyed his spell from Manchester United and believes he is a better player for the experience.
Keane also believes he is better equipped to return to Old Trafford next season in a bid to break into Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team squad.
However, if Ferguson believes Keane, who has earned England under-21 recognition while with Nigel Pearson's men, needs more first-team experience elsewhere, Keane hopes he can return to the King Power Stadium.
"I would be up for coming back, definitely, especially if we get promoted," he said. "We will have to see what happens but I have loved my time here.
"This has surpassed my expectations. I thought I would play a few games but didn't expect to be playing every one.
"I have played every game and learned new things in every game as well.
"I have improved my physicality, and I am learning to use my strength more against strikers. In the air, as well, I think I have improved."
Keane said one of the biggest pluses is having the experience of playing in big games, like today's crucial trip to Crystal Palace.
"I need to get used to playing in these big games if I want to go back to United because they are involved in big games all the time," he said.
"We have three games against sides around us and, in a way, that could be good for us because it affects their results as well as our own."
