Cork goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher reflected on "crazy" few months after playing against both Manchester giants on Liverpool's tour of the US.
The 19-year old was given his chance on the first team while new signing Allison remains on holiday after the World Cup.
The teenager was a half-time substitute in both games, keeping a clean sheet in Liverpool's resounding 4-1 win over Man United.
Kelleher spoke to Liverpoolfc.com about his experience getting first-team action.
"It’s been crazy, playing the Man City and Man U games. I wasn’t expecting to play really, but to get the opportunity was just unbelievable," said Kelleher.
It was amazing, seeing all the crowd and stuff. I really enjoyed it.
"I trained with them [the senior side] last year but to actually play this year has been crazy. It’s been unreal.
"I’ve been happy, I think I’ve done well. Every day we train hard with the ‘keepers, we all push each other to do our best every day and I think that’s all you can do really, do your best, so I’ve been happy."
"It was amazing, seeing all the crowd and stuff. I really enjoyed it."
