Warren Joyce has explained how he traded ideas with Joe Gallagher, trainer of Manchester boxer Anthony Crolla, in an attempt to discover new ways of developing his players.
Gallagher, who won the prestigious Ring Magazine Trainer of the Year award in 2015, has a talented stable of fighters that also includes Bury's Scott Quigg and all four of the Smith brothers from Liverpool.
Joyce has enjoyed great success as Reserves coach at United and he recently met with Gallagher when the latter visited the Aon Training Complex to appear on MUTV's Thursday Focus programme with Crolla.
