Cox told manutd.com: "Tommy Rowe returns to the club as playing coach.

"Tommy left our Academy programme at the age of 15 and went on to have a successful career playing over 600 games in the Football League. Tommy, a qualified coach, will support the development of players in the Professional Development Phase.

"As a member of staff he will train with the group, driving professional standards on a daily basis. He will occasionally represent the U21s where it is deemed to be of benefit to the development of our high potential players."
