Man Utd legend Yorke admits preparing for management

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has confirmed plans to enter management.

Yorke hung up his boots last summer after coming off contract at Sunderland.

"I'm doing my coaching badges at the moment with the aim of becoming a manager," he told the Observer. "I've been considering it ever since my spell at Sunderland [Yorke briefly worked as an assistant to Ricky Sbragia at the club, the last of his career, following the departure of Roy Keane as manager in December 2008].

"I have an idea of how to do it, and having been involved in the game for 22 years, I definitely have a lot of experience. I've seen a lot change, a lot."
