Ahead of the 2022/23 season, Tom Huddlestone (pictured above with Travis Binnion) joins the Academy as playing coach and David Hughes joins as Professional Development Phase coach.
Huddlestone succeeds Paul McShane in his role, which provided significant performance and development benefits across the whole Academy last season.
The experienced midfielder will create various unique development opportunities for United’s Academy players by coaching from within training sessions and driving daily standards on and off the pitch.
United’s next generation of Academy graduates will benefit from Huddlestone’s impressive knowledge and capabilities accumulated throughout his career, which has seen him make over 550 professional appearances, including 242 games in the Premier League.
