Butt feels surreal returning as part of Man Utd coaching team

Nicky Butt is proud to be part of Manchester United's coaching team for the final four games of the season. The former United midfielder will assist interim coach and former team-mate Ryan Giggs, along with Paul Scholes and Phil Neville.

"It will be massive for us, a proud moment for us all," Butt told MUTV.

"To be there together is a bit of a surreal thing. We walked in here together when we were 12 and to be here now - I'm not 40 yet but Giggsy is, and myself and Scholes are nearly there too. So for us and Phil to be there together is a very proud moment.

"We're here to try to help the club and get the results that we want from now until the end of the season. What happens after that, who knows?"
