Former Manchester United manager Frank O'Farrell has died at the age of 94. The Irishman was in charge at Old Trafford from July 1971 to December 1972 and was the second United manager to try and replace Sir Matt Busby.
O'Farrell was born and raised in Cork and began his playing career for his local club before moving to English football with West Ham United and then Preston North End.
He had spells managing Weymouth, Torquay United and Leicester City before being appointed to the Manchester United role. Wilf McGuinness had initially replaced Busby but he left United in December 1970 and they returned to Busby for the remainder of that season, before appointing O'Farrell.
