Midfield central to O’Shea’s thinking

A CARLING CUP medal in his pocket, Waterford beating Cork in the National Hurling League and a nice view over Dublin Bay from the Irish team hotel. Life is good for John O’Shea.

That Carling Cup medal is the first item on the order of business, but not the last, says the Manchester United player.

"I'm lucky, I'm only 24 so I've got time to get more medals and I think Manchester United is the place for that. I was relieved to be playing last Sunday I trained before the Liverpool game and played in a reserve game against Everton on the Tuesday, but I didn't know if the manager was going to pick me until two hours before kick-off."
