Manchester United midfielder Ethan Galbraith is floating after making his senior Northern Ireland debut.

The 18-year-old was promoted from his country's Under-21s on Thursday and ended up coming off the bench for the closing stages of the 1-0 win over Luxembourg in a friendly at Windsor Park.

"I'm lost for words,"" Galbraith told BBC Northern Ireland. “It was absolutely unreal, especially in front of a big crowd and at Windsor Park. Even walking out in the stadium was incredible.

"Warming up on the side, I felt like everyone was just watching me and I was getting a bit nervous but then, when Michael gave me the call, the nerves went away and the adrenaline started kicking in, so it was good.

“I enjoyed it. I tried to get on the ball, but the ball wouldn't fall for me. Eventually, when it did fall for me, I played a ball through to Shane [Ferguson] and I was feeling quite confident.

"I thought it would have taken me a bit longer [to settle] but felt I started out alright.

“The season is shaping up very well for me. I've been getting a lot of game time with United and to play tonight was unreal."
