Brady earns chance to impress

Ireland U21 winger Robbie Brady has been promoted to Manchester United’s squad for their pre-season tour of South Africa and China.

The 20-year-old has yet to make his United first-team bow but impressed on loan at Hull City last season where he played 39 times.

Alex Ferguson rewarded the Dubliner with a two-year contract extension and has shown further faith by including him in Monday’s travelling party.
