Manchester United would like to extend condolences to the family of Brian Whitehouse, who has sadly passed away at the age of 81.
Whitehouse joined the club as part of Ron Atkinson's backroom staff in 1981, arriving as the new manager's first appointment, and became Reserves coach at Old Trafford.
During his playing days, he was in the West Bromwich Albion side beaten by United in the FA Cup just a few weeks after the Munich disaster in 1958.
As a striker, he also represented Norwich City, Wrexham, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient.
