Giovanni Trapattoni warns Manchester United forward Robbie Brady that he must start playing regular club football if he wants to keep his place in the Republic of Ireland's starting XI.

Giovanni Trapattoni has warned Manchester United forward Robbie Brady that he must start playing regular club football if he wants to retain his place in the Republic of Ireland's starting XI.

The 20-year-old scored after 23 minutes on his senior international debut last night, helping Trapattoni's men record an emphatic 4-1 win over Oman at Craven Cottage.

"I think Brady played well in the first half," said Trapattoni. "He scored a goal also and I think he can also do better.

"He might be called up in to the squad for the next match, but he would not necessarily be in the team [if he isn't playing regularly for his club].

"This is a problem we have in our team, that five or six players only usually play 30 minutes or so every week."

Brady has yet to make a first-team appearance for United.
