Man Utd U18 coach Little: Special to be part of staff

Manchester United U18 assistant coach Colin Little is enjoying his time at Carrington.

Little worked with Kieran McKenna last season before his promotion to Jose Mourinho's first team staff.

He told planetfootball.com: “I'm probably the luckiest man in the world to take everything I learned there and get to continue it here. It felt special that I had something to take to them.

“It's a great time for ideas – Kieran McKenna (recently promoted to first-team duties) has come in with all he learned from Mauricio Pochettino and John McDermott at Spurs.

“It's fantastic to take so much stuff from all of these people I've been around and be able to put your view into that.

“It's a privilege. You become obsessed with it. That's a trait of the best coaches I've worked with – they're obsessive. Jose is obsessive about the way he does it, Dario was, Paul McGuiness, McKenna – it's 24/7."
