Huddlestone delighted after first season with Man Utd U21s

Manchester United Under-21s player-coach Tom Huddlestone enjoyed his first season with the club.

The veteran midfielder is playing a key part in shaping the club's youth players as they look to step up to the first team.

The 36-year-old pass master was brought in by United to fill the role that Paul McShane previously held.

Hiddlestone stated on Instagram: “What a great learning experience this season has been.

“After 18 seasons solely playing, it has been eye-opening to see all the effort and preparation which goes on behind the scenes for each session and games.

“Unbelievable set of staff who have made my 'transition' season very enjoyable and straightforward."
