Ex-Man Utd defender McGrath: McNair incredible against Chelsea

Former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath is a big fan of youngster Paddy McNair.

The Ulsterman earned a recall for defeat at Chelsea on Saturday.

McGrath told manutd.com: "I thought he was incredible against Chelsea.

"He showed a maturity level that I would never have shown at that age (19). If a space opens up in front of you as a defender and you know you're quick enough to go through it without getting caught, then you should go through it. He did that a few times at Chelsea and even tested Courtois with a shot. He seems to be very comfortable with the ball at his feet."
