Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell was in attendance for Manchester United Under-18's FA Youth Cup victory over Leicester City on Thursday night.
Mitchell, who has also worked with Southampton, Tottenham and RB Leipzig, was pictured sitting alongside his former colleague and interim United boss Ralf Rangnick in the crowd during the match at Old Trafford.
Speculation soon began to run wild on social media as to the reason for his attendance but United have moved to downplay its significance.
