Sean Cavanagh hopes his former club and college mentor Mattie McGleenan does well as Cavan senior football manager.

McGleenan managed Cavanagh to McRory Cup success with St Patrick's College, Armagh and is also a former Moy manager, so former Footballer of the Year Cavanagh knows his fellow Tyrone man very well:

"He's a great fella, I've great time for Mattie," Cavanagh told The Irish News. "He's one of the positive personalities around the GAA. The players will really love him up in Cavan. They'll really embrace him because he's a players' person.

"He's been through schools football, club football and he's had incremental success in the last ten years. He did very well with our own club even and I've no doubt they'll enjoy him up there but obviously county management is a tough game. I wish him all the best and I hope he does well - unless he's playing us."
