O'Shea now the centre of attention

THE MOST versatile player at Old Trafford yesterday insisted he was ready to serve Man Utd and Ireland in whatever role the respective managers chose to allocate him.

John O'Shea, in his relatively short career in the Premiership, has filled so many jobs with United that it would come as no surprise if next week he was asked to double up by working on the PA system.

"No matter," he said when asked about his latest challenge in central midfield. "Once I am in the first 11 - that is the most important factor."
