Enda Varley is backing Aidan O'Shea to exert a big influence on Saturday's All-Ireland SFC final replay.

"In fairness, I think Aido does an awful lot of work off the ball," Varley - who featured in the 2013 All-Ireland final - told The Irish Daily Star.

"His workrate is extremely high for Mayo. His turnovers are three or four every game. He's the most fouled player on the Mayo team - you'll see it in the stats.

"He takes two players with him every time he goes inside. When he's on the ball, he takes two, three players with him.

"If Aido maybe can release the ball a bit quicker, get that attention off him, that would hopefully help his cause a bit more.

"To me, Aido had a very good game the last day. It's just he has very high standards. So, he'll be looking to up his game."
