Manchester United's current youth team manager, Nicky Butt enjoyed a wonderful 12-year professional career with the club amassing all the trophies in world football. Form 92-04, Butt was crucial to the club playing a box to box midfield role. A robust central midfielder with great ability and composure, the English also represented his country at the 2002 World Cup.

Nicky Butt joined Newcastle United soon after and spent six years at the club playing Premier League football. Although in the 2008-09 season, the club was relegated to the Championship and the player experienced his first drop.

However, Newcastle was soon back in the Premier League as Butt guided the club to the Championship title and promotion. He retired from the game after a year of football in South China and transitioned into a coach.
