First Irish call-up for United keeper O'Hara

Manchester United goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara has received his first international call-up for the Republic of Ireland, at Under-21 level.

The young Reds shot-stopper was born in Manchester and played for England Schools at Under-18 level but qualifies to represent the Republic. Ireland Under-21s coach Noel King introduced the 20-year-old into his squad for the European qualifier against highly-rated Serbia on Tuesday.

With fellow keepers Joel Castro Pereira and Dean Henderson leaving United on loan to Belenenses and Grimsby Town respectively, O'Hara will hope to push for inclusion in Warren Joyce's Premier League 2 plans this season.
