John O’Shea was part of the Manchester United defence tonight which won through 1-0 in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final away to Porto. Level at 2-2 from the first leg, United advance 3-2 on aggregate to face Arsenal in the semi-finals.

O’Shea picked up a winners medal in last season’s competition and along with Man Utd squad member Darron Gibson, represents Ireland’s only hopes of representation in this year’s final.
