Robbie Brady joins Hull on loan from Man Utd
Manchester United youth player Robert “Robbie” Brady has joined Hull City on loan for the next five months.
The former St. Kevin’s Boys player signed for Alex Ferguson’s side in January 2008, and impressed for both academy and reserve sides in the last three years at Old Trafford. He scored five goals in the Milk Cup in 2009, and helped the reserve side to the title for the 2010-11 season.
He was included in United’s Carling Cup matchday squad against Wolves, but was left on the bench, and is still yet to make his first team debut. Capable of playing on the wings and up front, Brady has been sent to Hull to gain some first team experience.
United Reserve boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for the forward last year, speaking about the player last October. “He came to our club two years ago and went straight into the reserves, which is unusual,” said Solsjkaer. “But then last season he had a torrid time with loads of injuries that really restricted him and his development. This year, I’ve got him through pre-season with no injuries. He’s got a very good left foot, and he’s Irish so he’s a very a good competitor. He’s enthusiastic, he’s quick and although he’s not a big lad, he’s probably my size, he wins more or less everything in the air. We’ve just got to work on his fitness and, if we can get him super fit ,then he’ll be a very, very good player.”
He was a member of the Republic of Ireland U19 squad for the First Stage of Euro 2011 Qualifying, scoring twice in three games, but stayed with United for the FA Youth Cup final and missed the Elite Stage. As a result, Paul Doolin chose to stick with his tried and tested for the final squad, and Brady wasn’t named among the 18. However, if he impresses with Hull, he will no doubt be called up to the Ireland Under-21 squad for our Euro 2013 qualifying campaign. Ireland take on Hungary in our opening Group 7 game on September 1st.
