Manchester United have announced the death of former coach Brian Whitehouse at the age of 81.
Whitehouse -- a striker for the likes of West Brom, Norwich, Crystal Palace and Charlton -- joined United's staff under the management of Ron Atkinson in 1981.
He was Atkinson's first appointment and would go on to coach the reserve side at Old Trafford.
A statement on United's website read: "Manchester United would like to extend condolences to the family of Brian Whitehouse, who has sadly passed away at the age of 81.''
During a previous coaching stint at West Brom he gave an 18-year-old Bryan Robson his debut.
