Ireland interim head coach John O’Shea intends to speak to Alex Ferguson soon as he speculates that a missed phone call last week was actually from his former Manchester United boss.

Waterford native O’Shea won five Premier League titles during his 13 years under United legend Ferguson, who managed the club from 1986 to 2013, but the Ireland centurion believes he missed a call from his former manager the day after he was appointed interim head coach for the upcoming double-header against Belgium and Switzerland.
