How Manchester United are helping Paul Woolston after his retirement

His playing days may be numbered but former Manchester United U23 goalkeeper Paul Woolston continues to receive huge support from his club following his tragic enforced retirement.

The 23-year-old announced the end of his fledgling career last week following severe injury problems and those at Old Trafford have rallied around Woolston to ensure he is prepared for life after football.

This has included support to complete coaching badges, a sit-down with club captain Harry Maguire and even a private tour of Old Trafford, according to the MEN.

Woolston - who went under the knife twice in two months in March and April last year - made 19 Premier League 2 appearances for the reserves after joining the club on a free transfer in 2018, having left their Newcastle counterparts.
