New Manchester United U21 play-coach Tom Huddlestone believes things are looking up at Old Trafford following last season's desperately disappointing campaign.
The 35-year old midfielder had been playing at Hull City up until the end of last season and will now use his vast experience to help mentor United's youngsters as they look to develop into first-team players.
Having now spent some time with the younger players, Huddlestone says there is a feeling of optimism around the club.
'I've only been here a day but listening to the feedback from the younger players that have been with the first team for pre-season – the manager's going to be very demanding on and off the pitch,' he told talkSPORT.
