Enniskillen man Kieran McKenna has taken up a role at Manchester United.

McKenna has been in charge of Tottenham Hotspur U18 side, guiding them to the FA Youth Cup semi-final last season having beaten United along the way.

It is understood that the former Enniskillen Town and Ballinamallard player will take charge of the Manchester United U18 team.

United are overhauling their youth structures under Nicky Butt and McKenna has impressed to the extent that United have swooped to get him on board.

McKenna, who captained Northern Ireland at U21 level, spent seven years on the books of Tottenham Hotspur as a player but had to cut short his playing career in 2009 due to a persistent hip injury.

He quickly moved though into coaching and has built a big reputation for his work with Spurs.

It's believed Kieran moved to Manchester last week and has already started work at Carrington.
