Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy admits they're in talks over a new loan for defender Ryan McGivern.

He told Morecambe's official website: "We are talking with Manchester City because we would love to keep Ryan here. His current loan spell is now up but we will be trying to get him back. He's enjoyed it here and the boys have really enjoyed having him as well.

"I think his spell here has been good for him and helped his game and he knows that he is guaranteed games here, which is something that will help his development further."
