McNair proud to continue Northern Ireland tradition at Man Utd

Manchester United defender Paddy McNair is proud to be their latest Northern Ireland first teamer.

United have a rich history connected with Northern Ireland football.

He told manutd.com: "I think United have always had players from the home nations, and if you're good enough then you know you'll get a chance.

"Personally, it's great for me to follow in the footsteps of famous Northern Irish players like George Best, Sammy McIlroy and Jonny Evans."
