Manchester United looking at new coaching appointment after latest departure
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United are exploring options to appoint another senior professional to the role of player and coach in their under-21s set-up after hailing the innovation as a success.
Former Premier League midfielder Tom Huddlestone has spent the past two seasons fulfilling the role and he scored in the Premier League 2 win against Manchester City in February.
Huddlestone's role was to provide advice to young players during games, as well as coaching during the week, and he replaced his former Hull City teammate Paul McShane in the job.
McShane spent a year playing and coaching the team, before accepting a role as lead academy coach for the under-15s. He has since also joined the backroom staff in the Republic of Ireland Under-21s set-up.
