'Frightening that Tom Huddlestone is our most creative midfielder': Manchester United fans poke fun at their own failings in front of goal as 35-year-old midfielder makes eye-catching cameo in Papa John's Trophy with an assist against Fleetwood Town

Tom Huddlestone rolled back the years on Tuesday night as he laid on an injury time assist for Manchester United under-21s against Fleetwood in the EFL Trophy.

The midfielder, who racked up more than 550 appearances in a 19-year playing career that included time at Tottenham and two spells each at Derby County and Hull City, joined United as a player-coach for the under-21 side in the summer.

The move was made so that Huddlestone can use his vast experience to help mentor United's youngsters as they look to develop into first-team players.
