Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that defender John O’Shea will start in next week’s Champions League final against Barcelona. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson praised United’s utility player with a shower of appreciative words – “John deserves his place” and “To my mind John is one of the unsung heroes like we had when Denis Irwin was here”
O’Shea has been used as an utility player for Manchester United – often putting in excellent performances at left-back and right back – he once even played as a goalkeeper for Manchester United.
