Robbie Brady will make his senior international debut for Ireland tonight, here's all you need to know about him.

  • Robbie Brady was born Baldoyle, Dublin.
  • He's 20 years old.
  • He joined Manchester United in 2008 when he was 16.
  • He plays as a winger.
  • He graduated to the Man Utd reserve team for the 2010-11 season.
  • He spent the 2011-12 season on loan at Hull where he scored 3 goals in 39 appearances.
  • Giovanni Trapattoni has said about Brady: "I think he is particularly technical and creative. We've had others like this in the past. We had Andy Reid, but he is quicker than Andy Reid. And he has a good personality. James McCarthy is a good player, but he's a little bit shy. Robbie Brady, no! He knows his quality, and he's a little bit cocky at times. I think he can play well in this position, with good awareness of where the goal is."
  • In July, Brady started a friendly for Man Utd at left back.
  • He made his U-21 debut for Ireland in September 2010.
  • He was the 2011 Irish U-21 player of the year.
