He was 81.“Everyone at Manchester United sends their deepest condolences to Eric’s family and friends at this sad and difficult time.”Former player Gary Neville was among those to pay tribute to Harrison on Thursday morning, with this heartfelt Twitter post.In 1992, Harrisons Red Devils won the FA Youth Cup with a team of young players boasting the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Robbie Savage.Paul Scholes and Phil Neville joined the team the following year, but lost in the final against Leeds.

Harrison was awarded an MBE for services to football just over a year ago.When the award was announced in December 2017, Ferguson said:“If you wanted a teacher who gave you the right path forward he was that man. I was really lucky as I got to know that.“Obviously the Class of 92 was the climax of his coaching career but all the young players who came through looked at his contribution.“He was able to impart knowledge to them about the best way to be a footballer.“Not all of them made it but the five (Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Butt and Gary Neville), who epitomised the work he did, are a testimony to the work he did.”
