McShane’s Old Trafford return is a pain in the hip

YOUNG Wicklow-born defender Paul McShane has returned to Manchester United after having his loan spell at Walsall cut short.

McShane, the youngest player in United’s 2003/04 Champions League squad, returned to Old Trafford yesterday for treatment on a recurring hip problem.

The 19-year-old defender started two games for Walsall and came on twice as substitute.
