Manchester United are considering the appointment of Tommy Rowe as a player-coach in the academy. The Manchester Evening News understands Rowe will play for United's Under-21s as a trialist in a friendly against Chester on Wednesday ahead of a potential appointment.
Tom Huddlestone departed his hybrid role as player-coach this summer and Rowe, who has made over 600 professional appearances in his career during stints with the likes of Stockport County, Peterborough United, Wolves, Doncaster and Bristol City, could join in that position.
United appointed Paul McShane in a pioneering player-coach academy position in the summer of 2021, which involved developing players and giving on-field instructions.
