Manchester United bossSir Alex Ferguson says it's important for the club to keep retired pair Gary Neville and Paul Scholes involved.
He revealed that keeping former players at the club has now become a part of the Old Trafford culture.
Ferguson said: “I said to Martin Edwards a few years ago that we should really make use of our great former players and David Gill has embraced that idea really well by making a lot of them ambassadors of the club.
“There is no one better to have among players than coaches who have been involved in the most success the club has ever had.
“They put Bobby (Charlton) on the board and, although the likes of Nobby (Stiles) and Paddy (Crerand) were on the staff for a while, these things shouldn’t be short-term appointments.
“Bayern Munich is a perfect example. Rummenigge runs the club and there is also Uli Hoeness, Gerd Muller, Sepp Maier and general manager Christian Nerlinger.”
Fergie added: “I’m looking forward to working with Neville and Scholes.
“When Scholesy comes in at the end of August, I’ll ask him to work with the youth team and Academy. He will have a role to play after that.”
