Join Ben Symes, David Wilson and roving reporter Matthew Brennan on this week’s episode of the Green Scene, your one-stop shop for all things Irish football.
Matthew reports from Carton House where he was talking to some members of Manchester United, and what their friendly with Leeds United at Croke Park means for Irish football.
After a big week for the Irish contingent in the EFL, the lads look back on the impact of Jack Moylan and ponder whether he could be involved in the camp in Spain in May.
There is news of Jaden Umeh ripping it up in Portugal, whilst Mason Melia makes his first bow in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt.
And with Owen Elding continuing his fine start to life at Hibernian, the lads chat about who else could come into the Irish senior team of a possible English persuasion.
