Nick Cox, Manchester United Head of Academy, said: “Across the Academy, we have always taken an innovative approach to ensure that we continue our proud tradition of producing world-class players capable of excelling in Manchester United’s first-team. “This new role was carefully considered and adds yet another level of support for our players in helping them to play at the highest level possible. “We believe that Paul is the perfect candidate. He arrives as an extremely highly recommended coach but also clearly still has a lot left to give on the pitch. This unique combination is invaluable for our Under-23s team and will further drive the professional standards of the group. “As an Academy graduate, who has had an outstanding career, Paul knows the club inside out and can pass on this wealth of knowledge every day to our young players. “Paul will now form part of a team of dedicated experts once again bringing the best external coaching talent to complement our existing group.”
