McShane announces playing retirement
The 36-year-old will now continue his work as a Manchester United Academy coach in the Professional Development Phase (Under-18 to Under-23).
McShane initially joined our Academy as a teenager in 2002, travelling over from Ireland, where he’d played for St. Joseph’s Boys in south Dublin.
After four years at the club, during which he was part of our 2003 FA Youth Cup-winning side, McShane left on a permanent deal to West Bromwich Albion in 2006. He went on to make 369 league appearances, almost 100 of which were in the Premier League, with Sunderland and Hull City. He also represented the Republic of Ireland on 33 occasions.
