Caoimhín Kelleher transfer brings buzz to low-key Ireland summer camp
It wouldn't be a June window without absences and distractions. Caoimhin Kelleher has provided both ahead of the Republic of Ireland's pair of friendlies with Senegal and Luxembourg and not a soul is complaining. In London on Monday to firm up his switch from Liverpool to Brentford, the goalkeeper was back in situ in Abbotstown the next day for training before news of his five-year deal finally emerged from his new Premier League employers. Ireland assistant manager John O'Shea faced the same sort of decision a generation ago when, after over a decade hoovering up medals at Old Trafford, a dwindling of first-team opportunities prompted him to leave Manchester United for Sunderland. Speaking before Kelleher's news became official, O'Shea was already sure that Ireland are in good hands. 'It's not an easy thing for him to do. He's proven the quality that he has every time he's been asked to go in as the number one for Liverpool, the run of games that he's shown, that he's been able to show the consistency… 'He's shown when he's had a run that they haven't missed Alisson when he's been injured. That's what the whole of Europe and the whole of the world has seen when CaoimhÍn has been in goal for Liverpool. So whatever happens, I'm sure we'll get the benefit of it.' Read More Brentford announce signing of Caoimhín Kelleher from Liverpool Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has stated consistently that every player's club situation is different while confirming an overriding preference for his men to bank as much game time as possible. O'Shea seconded that. Kelleher as a first-choice Premier League player firms up the impression of a national side with lots of defensive options. If there has been headway made in terms of the forward line, then the stagnation of Evan Ferguson's career is still a cause for frustration. A loan spell at West Ham United didn't go as hoped although the teenager impressed with Ireland in the spring. He has 'trained excellently' the last few days, according to O'Shea who highlighted the need for players to keep doing what they do best regardless of circumstance. 'I mentioned it in March: it's just a case that you can't sit and sulk about it. The Premier League is that elite level that at the minute … You see all the teams already trying to get players in, trying to get business done early. 'If they can, the competition, you have to be at it and on it every day possible, doing everything you can. And if you do that and you're not getting in the team, you hold your hands up and you say fair enough.' Ireland have no injury concerns among the men called to arms this week, which is just as well given the number of Championship players already given the summer off for a spot of R&R and the low-key nature of the month's business. There isn't a huge to-do list against Senegal and Luxembourg. A pair of losses wouldn't be ideal given the momentum built up against Bulgaria in March and those qualifiers to come in September, but this is really about small gains. Some of the new faces will get a run and who knows what that may bring. 'Listen, if we get players to have an impact this week in the friendlies that suddenly help us qualify or score a goal to qualify for us for the World Cup, I think you'll say it was definitely worthwhile,' said O'Shea. Killian Phillips and John Joe Patrick Finn are two big men who will look to make an impression in the middle if given the chance and Josh Honohan has been 'having a good battle ' with Festy Ebosele in training. The coaches speak about how players need to show their personalities. The harsh fact of it is that opportunities can be fleeting and even signs of real promise can be superseded by obstacles further down the path. Kasey McAteer and Bosun Lawal, for example, both made inroads with Ireland in the last 12 months. Both have since found injuries hampering their hopes of building on that with Leicester City and Stoke City respectively. There will be no Sadio Mane on the Senegal side on Friday evening but the visitors still boast a side of some class with players assembled from eleven different countries. Four of them come from England's Premier League. As friendlies go, it beats Qatar or New Zealand. 'They will have different attributes, but also they have that quality of maybe a top European team that can hurt you on transition attacks, technical ability, speed. So we have to be very careful in terms of when we are attacking, that we're not leaving ourselves vulnerable. 'They have that pace and power to hurt you. They've obviously been on a very good run themselves too, a run of form. So don't concede too many goals. It'll be a very good test for the lads.'

Man Utd miss out on their Coutinho moment as Bruno Fernandes snubs Al-Hilal – so where does he fit into their plans?
OH, to be a fly on the wall of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's office when news broke that Bruno Fernandes had snubbed a mega £100million bid from Saudi Arabia. Advertisement 3 Bruno Fernandes snubbed a mega £100million bid from Saudi Arabia 3 Man Utd missed their chance of a major sale like Liverpool with Philippe Coutinho So to have the potential of receiving a nine-figure sum for a player whose legs are only going to get wearier was almost too good to be true. And it turned out to be . . . but only because Even the offer of tax-free £700,000-a-week wages was not enough to lure the Portuguese star to the Middle East. Advertisement Read More on Man Utd Yet It is back to the drawing board for Ratcliffe and manager Despite Fernandes turning down the Saudi riches, the midfielder could still be a target for European clubs this summer — although the offers are unlikely to be even half the astonishing transfer fee on offer from Al-Hilal. And even if he stays, Red Devils fans will now be debating where Fernandes fits into Amorim's rebuild next season? Advertisement Most read in Football Breaking Exclusive Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford Amorim is wedded to his 3-4-3 formation and his early transfer activity seems to match up. Wolves' Matheus Cunha has Bruno Fernandes enjoys dinner with Al-Hilal 'secret agent' Joao Cancelo as he faces Man Utd exit decision Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho, linked with Chelsea and Napoli, are other options for the wide forward roles. Advertisement That quartet is likely to see Fernandes move further back to one of the two central midfield berths which he fulfilled in the Europa League final loss to Tottenham. Amorim has other options in the centre of the park, including Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount. Casemiro is on big wages, Amorim knows Ugarte well from their time together at Sporting Lisbon and the United boss lavished praise on Mount following his return to fitness towards the end of the season. While homegrown talent Mainoo, 20, is an intriguing prospect. Advertisement So where will Fernandes play on a regular basis? In last season's disastrous campaign, Amorim relied heavily on talismanic Fernandes to dig his woeful 15th-placed Prem side out of the mire, netting 19 times in all competitions. Failed Coutinho moment Fernandes' quality and consistency led to the eye-watering bid from Saudi and the £100m fee will play on Ratcliffe's mind in their 'Mission 21' operation to knock Liverpool "off their perch" once again. The Reds went through a similar scenario over seven years ago when they sold star man Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for a staggering £142m. The transfer fee gave Jurgen Klopp the chance to rebuild as the German used that money to bring in Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, and his new spine delivered the Champions League and Premier League titles. Advertisement If Fernandes remains at United then club legend Gary Neville believes Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho must all leave. Garnacho clashed with Amorim after the Bilbao loss to Tottenham, while the other three have all been out on loan this season. Neville said: 'If players are taking on and questioning the manager in public through social media, the manager has to win. Neville's transfer advice 'If the manager doesn't win, the manager has to leave and I don't think that's going to happen this time. That's happened far too many times before. I think Garnacho will leave purely because of that, I think they've had enough. Advertisement 'Marcus has to leave for him and the club. I think that ship has sailed and he needs to find himself another club. 'It sounds to me like Villa aren't going to keep him. I would say for Marcus' and United's sake that it feels like that path has come to an end. 'I feel a little bit similarly with Jadon as I do with Marcus. I'd be a bit concerned that Chelsea haven't made the noises that they're going to keep him. United have to make sure they part ways with him. 'Antony has gone to Spain and having seen a couple of players that I played with not do it Old Trafford but do it in Spain . . . I think he's suited down to the ground and it's been proven.'
