Manchester United have announced Neil Wood as new U23 coach.

Wood, a former United youth team player, will be assisted in his new role by Quinton Fortune, who played 126 times for the Old Trafford side during his playing career and won the Premier League.

Academy chief Nicky Butt said: "The academy is completely focused on producing well-rounded players for our first team and we believe that this new structure provides the perfect platform to achieve this aim.

"Myself, Neil and Quinton have long-standing connections with Manchester United and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our roles that we will pass on to the young players.

"It is such an exciting time for the academy with Ole as first-team manager, who truly believes in the development of homegrown talent.

"It was a great source of pride that three academy graduates made their first-team debuts last season. As a group, we will now look to build on this success."
