Paddy McNair Answers Fans' Questions

The young Reds centre-back answers questions posted by fans on our official Facebook page, in an interview first published in United Review...

Which defender do you admire most? Yusuf Mulwahale

All-time, probably Rio Ferdinand and Sergio Ramos. I trained with Rio a few times when he was here, and he passed on a few tips, and Ramos is a really good player for Real Madrid. He’s more of an all-round footballer than a defender.

How did it feel to have won every first-team match you had started prior to the Tottenham game? Joe Hudson

It was really good. Afterwards you don’t have the disappointment of a defeat, so it must be a bit of Irish luck or something! We drew at Spurs but I'm still undefeated. Hopefully I can keep it going.

What's it like to follow in the footsteps of several Northern Irish icons at OT? Ronald Carruthers

I think United have always had players from the home nations, and if you’re good enough then you know you’ll get a chance. Personally, it’s great for me to follow in the footsteps of famous Northern Irish players like George Best, Sammy McIlroy and Jonny Evans.

Who would you prefer to play next to: Jaap Stam or Nemanja Vidic? Andy Allam

To be honest, I never really saw Stam play, so I’ll have to say Vidic. I grew up watching Vidic play when he was here, so I’ve got to go for him.
