Man Utd’s Sean McGinty in Oxford United loan move
Republic of Ireland under-19 defender Sean McGinty has joined Oxford United on loan until January.
The Manchester United 18-year-old can play at left back and centre defence and played 4 times for Morecambe on loan last season before a dislocated shoulder injury saw him return to Old Trafford. McGinty has lined out for Ireland at under-17 and under-19 level, and will officially move to the Kassam Stadium on August 4th.
Us manager Chris Wilder could start McGinty in tonight’s friendly with West Ham United. “Sean is a player I have watched on more than one occasion and he is a good player who has always impressed me,” Wilder told the club’s official website.
“He is very highly rated and will come into the group and give us another strong option. It’s another example of the excellent relationship we have with Manchester United and we look forward to working with him.”

pretty sure he switched back 2 Engarland
Hopefully he sticks with us. Though it’d be kind of funny in a few years if England have a McGinty and a couple of Keanes playing for them.
Who cares who he plays for? Until the fundamentals of how the game is taught in Ireland and Britain our national teams will continue to underachieve and never win anything. It doesn’t matter which players we put out there. It’s not just because Ireland are a small nation because England is a highly populated country and they suck too. Look at Uruguay and Croatia as small countries with great technical ability. The “British” style of football has time and time again proved inept. If Zak Gilsenan had any sense he’d become a naturalized Spainish citizen and play for Spain.
Of course fundamental changes are needed long term IrishRI in the way the game is taught (and there are a few glimmers that the FAI and FA may have finally copped on to this).. But you reckon we should just shut down football in Ireland and Britain for the next 10 years and not bother competing until we think we’ve caught up? England may not have been great at the Euros but I could have sworn they were a couple of penalty kicks away from a semi final.
