Mayo man and Manchester United supporter Shane Duffy bumped into a famous Irish face in Bilbao, as he took the opportunity to pose for a picture with golfing icon Rory McIlroy.
Shane, from Westport, who is in the Basque Country for the Europa League final between his side and Tottenham Hotspur, bumped into the reigning Masters champion in his hotel ahead of the crunch tie.

Both Duffy and McIlroy are known to be keen fans of the Red Devils, with the latter recently receiving congratulations from United coach Ruben Amorim on completing the career Grand Slam at Augusta.
Shane's brother, Paul, runs MacBrides Bar on Bridge Street in Westport, and they are hosting a big party for the final tonight. Paul and Shane's family are all avid United fans, but Paul's partner, Karen, and all her family are loyal Spurs supporters, so there is sure to be tension in the air after the kick-off tonight at 8pm.
