Former Manchester United midfielder Philip Mulryne has been ordained a Roman Catholic priest in the Dominican Order.

The 39-year-old, who once earned £600,000-a-year during his playing days, has now also taken a vow of poverty.

The ex-Norwich City star was ordained a deacon in October last year.

Mulryne was a product of the Manchester United youth academy and made his debut for Sir Alex Ferguson’s in 1997.

He only made one Premier League appearance for the Red Devils before he moved to Carrow Road.

His time at Norwich was the best of his career and he played over 160 matches for the club during a six-year stint.
