Former Man United player Chris Casper joins Class of '92 at Salford City

A sixth member of Manchester United's Class of '92 has joined Salford City as their sporting director, according to the Daily Mirror.

Chris Casper, 42, has been appointed to the role by joint-owners Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Gary and Phil Neville to lead Academy '92, a new youth development programme at the National League North club.

Casper was forced to retire from professional football at the age of 24, but has managed Bury and also worked for Bradford City and Grimsby Town.

The former defender has been working with Salford for the past few months, and his appointment has been made permanent just after the club went fully professional last week.
