        Former Manchester United and England player Brian Greenhoff dies aged 60 - Manchester Evening News

        Former Manchester United and England star Brian Greenhoff has died at the age of 60.

        The skilful centre-half, who also played in midfield, passed away at his home in Rochdale this morning.

        Brian, who was born in Barnsley, joined United in 1968 after representing Yorkshire Schoolboys.

        He played in the same team as his brother, Jimmy, who joined the Reds in 1976.

        Brian lifted the FA Cup with his beloved United in 1977 and won a Second Division winners medal in 1975.

        He made 271 appearances for the Reds, scoring 17 times and won 18 caps for his country.

        Brian's first-team bow came at the age of just 20 in 1973 and played his last game for United in 1979.

        He was worshipped by the Stretford End and something of a cult hero with fans recognising him as one of their own.

        Brian headed back across the Pennines to join Leeds United following his stint at Old Trafford and later went on to play for and coach Rochdale.

        He moved with his family to Menorca before returning to Rochdale and last year wrote an autobiography.

        Police were called to Brian's address this morning following reports of a sudden death as a matter of procedure.

        The case has now been passed to the coroner

          Manchester United today confirmed the departure of assistant manager Mike Phelan and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.

          Club confirm the departures of Mike Phelan and Eric Steele - Official Manchester United Website

          Manchester United today confirmed the departure of assistant manager Mike Phelan and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.

          David Moyes, who takes over as United boss on 1 July, said: "I would like to put on record the club's thanks for everything Mike and Eric have done. I will be looking to appoint my own members of coaching staff at some point in the future, however, I'd like to take this opportunity to give them both our best wishes for their future careers."

          Executive Vice Chairman Ed Woodward said: "I'd like to thank Eric and Mick for the enormous contributions they have made to the success of Manchester United in their time here. Their professionalism, ability and diligence have been a credit to them. They are top class football men and everyone here wishes them well for long and successful careers in the game."

          Mike Phelan, a former United player, was promoted by Sir Alex Ferguson to the role of assistant manager in 2008, having served the club as a first-team coach since 2001.

          Eric Steele, joined the club in 2008 as first-team goalkeeping coach to fill the void left by Tony Coton who had been forced to retire due to injury.

          Can't say I'm happy about this. I'm all for Moyes bringing in some of his own staff, but I'd have liked to have E Steele.

            Yes well done the U21's shame Januzaj didnt get his debut at west brom but im sure he will get some game time next season

            RIP Brian Greenhoff little before my time but regular as is his brother on MUTV and will always be rememebered as being part of the team that stopped the scousers getting a REAL treble

            Btw shame about phelan and steele leaving, i think phelan should have been kept on in some capacity as an ex player and someone who has coached through the ranks i think he will be a big loss and a gain for somebody else

            got to feel for steele too learned spanish to try and sort our keeper out then gets the chop

            Good luck for the future

              I'm hearing Rene Meulensteen is stepping down from his role at UTD, D Moyes wants him to stay though. Shame if it's true.

                    It's that time of the year m8 and it will certainly give Moyes a selection headache, what with Bale, Wilshere, Lewandowski and Ronaldo to accommodate as well after all the rumours through this summer

                      Seems plausible one though to me, i cant imagine any of the mentioned

                      Defo need a couple of bodies in the middle and i would be happy with him and fellaini as our only 2 in

                      we have Zaha to come in too, i expect powell to feature more as well as janujaz and larnell cole to start getting a little game time too, he hasnt done any harm to himself the last couple of months and the rest of the squad is pretty good in most area's imo

                      nani,rooney and anderson can all go

                      A striker to replace rooney with the cash we get would be nice, benzema maybe but imo is not essential i expect i bit more from kagawa next season and if rooney goes he may play behind rvp

                      see what happens eh

                              He's not leaving

                              Manchester United first-team coach Rene Meulensteen insists he has not left the club, amid speculation he will move to Wigan Athletic.

                              Both Mike Phelan and Eric Steele have left Old Trafford in the wake of Alex Ferguson's departure as manager with new man David Moyes keen on bringing his own staff in.


                              It had been suggested Meulensteen would be the next to go with the Dutchman linked with a move to the DW Stadium as a replacement for Roberto Martinez, who is close to leaving for Everton.


                              However, Meulensteen told ELF Voetball he was not leaving the club and remained an employee at United.


                              "So far I will report on July 1. I am still under contract at the club," he said.


                              "I didn't step down, and also I was not sacked by Manchester United. I am still employed."


                              Among the names reported to be on Moyes' wishlist to form his backroom staff are former Everton and United defender Phil Neville and the Scot's assistant at Goodison Park, Steve Round.


                              After an initial spell at United between 2001 and 2006, Meulensteen has been part of the Old Trafford set-up since 2007 following an ill-fated spell in charge of Danish side Brondby.
