Tom Huddlestone 'grateful and honoured' over Man Utd move

Former Hull City and Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone is full of pride over his move to Manchester United.

Huddlestone won four caps for England between 2009 and 2011 after being handed his debut by Fabio Capello.

His position at United will be predominately based around coaching, although the holding midfielder will feature for the U21s whenever an experienced head is required.

Speaking about the appointment on social media, Huddlestone tweeted: "Over the moon to announce I have been given the opportunity at this amazing football club to help coach and develop the next generation of talent coming through the system.

"Grateful and honoured, [it's] now time to give back to the younger generation."
