Another father and son who have both served United are former Academy coach Neil Ryan and his dad, Jim, who made 27 appearances for the Reds and was later a distinguished member of Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching staff.
Ex-Academy player Harvey Neville has a father who was a six-time title winner with the Reds - Phil Neville, who rose through the club's youth ranks himself.
More recently, while Class of '92 member Robbie Savage never made a senior appearance for the Reds himself, he did get to see his son, Charlie, make his first-team debut in 2021. That's an honour Darren Fletcher will hope to soon experience, with his sons, Jack and Tyler, both progressing well in the Academy.
Dipping back into United's history, Wilf McGuinness was a Busby Babe who went on to be a regular in the first team and later managed the club, in 1969/70; his son, Paul, was also a youngster with the Reds before moving into coaching and taking charge of our Under-18s.
Wilf's team-mate, Dennis Viollet, had a daughter who became a professional tennis player. Rachel Viollet has since forged a career in film production and her moving documentary about her dad, who passed away in 1999, was released in 2016.
