Manchester United legend Nicky Butt admits he wants to enter coaching.

Butt is back at Old Trafford taking his coaching badges.

"I've started my badges now and am getting the hours in," Butt told manutd.com.

"I'll get assessed in the next five or six months. I go to Carrington a lot and just watch, I don't really take any of the sessions. I know for a fact management is what I want to do. Whether I'll be good at it is another thing. We'll see.

"There were rumours about Oldham and someone asked if I would be interested but I never was as it was too soon for me.

"I wanted to have a year away from it, spend time with my family and go away with the kids in the school holidays. It's been great but I think I feel now I'm ready to do something.

"There are a lot of things I'm able to do now but my ultimate aim is to be a manager.

"That's what I want to do, whenever that happens, but I don't want to just jump into a job, take it on and not be able to do it. I want to slowly get there and be ready for it."
