Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has clarified Nicky Butt's new role with the Manchester United first-team.

Butt has been promoted from Head of the United Academy to Head of First-Team Development, a completely new position created by the club.

And Solskjaer outlined the responsibilities Butt will take on in the new role.

"There's always been a big void since I was at the club, when I took the Reserves, about how the pathway is going to be from Under 18s to the first team. It's a difficult one," Ole added.

"We've got different examples, but this club has been based on young players coming through and we'll always rely on kids coming through and Nicky is going to be in charge of that."
