Sean Andrew McGinty (born 11 August 1993) is an English-born Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Torquay United. Born in Maidstone, Kent, he began his professional career with Manchester United after a spell with Charlton Athletic as a junior. Failing to break into the United first team he had loan spells at Morecambe, Oxford United, Carlisle United and Tranmere Rovers before signing for Sheffield United, and spells at Northampton Town and Rochdale while at the Blades.
McGinty spent three years in the youth setup at Charlton Athletic before moving to Manchester United in July 2009. He progressed through the youth academy and was part of the side that won the 2010–11 FA Youth Cup, before signing a pro contract in the summer of 2011. On 27 February 2012, McGinty signed for Football League Two side Morecambe on an initial loan until 31 March, with an option to extend. He made his debut the next day in a 2–1 defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge at the Globe Arena. On 12 March 2012, McGinty returned to Manchester United after he dislocated his shoulder in the match against Hereford United.
