Nicky Butt is reported to be on his way to Derby County to work alongside Wayne Rooney.
News yesterday that the 46-year-old was leaving Manchester United immediately had some Celtic supporters lumping him in with Roy Keane and a new management team.
After eight years working his way up through the ranks at Old Trafford Butt has great experience in a variety of aspects of the game.
While Celtic fans were putting two and two together the main edition of The Sun reports:
NICKY BUTT could join Wayne Rooney at Derby after quitting as Manchester United’s head of first team development.
The former Red Devils midfielder, 46, spent nine years in the role and as a coach at Old Trafford, bringing through the likes of Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Scott McTominay and Dean Henderson.
Yet it is understood Butt did not see eye to eye with new director of football John Murtough. And while the Class of ’92 star said all the right things on his departure, his exit was still a surprise.
Rooney took over at Derby in November when Philip Cocu was sacked. Derby are currently sixth bottom of The Championship but are only five points above third bottom Rotherham who have three games in hand.
