The Welshman, who, bar brief spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, played for United from 1980 until 1995, was speaking on UTD Podcast, which will be available to download on all your favourite podcast platforms from Monday 12 April.
Hughes was signed by United as a 17-year-old old and spent three years in the club's youth system before making his debut under Ron Atkinson.
“I had immense pride for playing for Manchester United and wearing the number 10 red shirt. It was really special to me,” he told presenters Sam Homewood, Helen Evans and David May.
