Kieran O’Hara happy to mix it at Theatre of Dreams

Of all the fresh faces in the Ireland U21s squad for Saturday’s Euro qualification opener, Manchester United’s Kieran O’Hara has had the biggest crash-course of late.

The goalkeeper reported for duty having spent the past month part of Jose Mourinho’s first-team squad and assuming the role of third-choice stopper for the Europa League ties against Rostov.

Aside from working close-up with one of Europe’s best custodians in David De Gea, O’Hara is mixing with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba on a daily basis. Even the Special One has taken time out to put the rookie at ease in his new surrounds.
