Reading fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that John O’Shea will join the Royals from Sunderland.

According to The Irish Sun, O’Shea will leave League One club Sunderland in the summer transfer window and move to Championship side Reading.

It has been reported that new Sunderland manager Jack Ross has decided against taking up the option option of an additional 12 months in the contract of the former Manchester United star, who can operate as a defender or as a defensive midfielder.

Reading fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that the Royals are about to sign 37-year-old Sunderland star O’Shea this summer.

O’Shea – who cost Sunderland £6 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Manchester United in 2011, according to The Irish Sun – is a very good player who would bring leadership and experience to the current Reading team.

While the versatile former United footballer is past his prime, his experience would come handy in big matches and would help the youngsters at Reading.

The Royals just about managed to stave off relegation to League One this past season.
