John O´Shea Moves To Sunderland

John O’Shea

Reportedly, Manchester United defender John O´Shea moves to Sun­der­land for a trans­fer fee in the region of £3 mil­lion and has agreed a deal which will keep him at the Sta­dium of Light until sum­mer 2015. The Repub­lic of Ire­land inter­na­tional, who agreed pro­fes­sional terms with Manchester United at the start of the 1998–99 cam­paign, becomes ambi­tious man­ager Steve Bruce´s eighth per­man­ent senior sign­ing this summer.

John O´Shea made his senior debut for Manchester United in a heavy 3–0 defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Foot­ball League Cup in Octo­ber 1999.  After loan spells with Bournemouth and Bel­gian side Royal Ant­werp, the mul­ti­func­tional foot­baller estab­lished him­self in the Manchester United first team dur­ing the 2002-03 cam­paign and pro­ceeded to make a total of 393 appear­ances for the club. A tower­ing player in every sense of the word, John O´Shea deb­uted for his nat­ive coun­try when he came on as a sub­sti­tute in an inter­na­tional friendly game against Croa­tia at Lans­downe Road in August 2001.
