It would require adding ORD-BOS and DUB-MAN flights, but those are very cheap to buy separately. That way you save a bunch of cash and earn miles too. Food for thought.
I wouldn't have thought it would be much cheaper and seems a lot more hassle than just doing MAN-ORD non stop each way. Doing MAN-DUB-BOS-ORD with separate tickets seems not nearly as appealing
