Healy: Let people talk

David Healy likes the tag of underdogs for Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland striker David Healy has told Sky Sports News that Northern Ireland are quietly confident of causing an upset against England on Saturday.

And the Leeds forward is certainly refusing to believe that the result at Old Trafford is a formality.

"We're happy going into the game, we're not even underdogs - we're massive underdogs," claimed Healy.

"People are building the game up to be maybe three, four or five-nil to England.

If that's what people want to talk about let them talk, but as a squad we'll get together, train hard and we're looking to go into the game and probably the lads are a little bit confident of maybe stealing something."
