Manchester United goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara is delighted with his move to Macclesfield Town.

O'Hara has joined Macclesfield Town on a season-long loan.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has been handed the No.1 jersey by the League Two club.

“Obviously, it's going to be difficult for a club coming up from the National League to League Two but they seem to have made a promising start and had a great result against Bradford in the first round of the Carabao Cup,“ O'Hara said.

"It's exciting to see what happens in the draw for the next round as it could be a big club.

“Speaking to the chairman, they're going in the right direction and have all their players in place, so that they think they can get to where they want to be. So it's very exciting.

“I'm looking forward to it, getting started and hopefully playing in front of crowds, week in and week out. It's about showing everyone what I'm capable of. The people have seen here what I'm capable of and it's proving that on another stage, showing people and the staff at United that I can reach that level and beyond it."
