Manchester United academy player and coach Tom Huddlestone has revealed that Fulham manager Marco Silva played a vital role in convincing him to become a coach.
Huddlestone was without a club in the summer having ended his second spell with Hull City. But a call out of the blue from former teammate Paul McShane resulted in him taking up the offer from United to be player-coach for the club's Under-21s.
As Erik ten Hag's side prepare to take on Fulham this weekend, the former Tottenham man explained how their current manager Marco Silva inspired him to make the switch from player to coach.
