A veteran footballer has raised eyebrows after popping up in Manchester United training - 21 years after he left the club.
The winger has piled up 601 appearances across his career and comes with trophy-winning experience.
Now 36, he is bringing all he has learned back to the club and was pictured training with the first team on Wednesday afternoon.
He returned to the club over the summer in a player-coach role and is the third man to take the hybrid position after Paul McShane and Tom Huddlestone. He has even starred for the Under-21s.
The player in question is none other than Tommy Rowe, who joined the club's academy in 2002 and left the next year for Stockport County.

Fans will no doubt be excited reading about his exploits over the years, including his prolific 2016-17 season in which he scored 13 goals for Doncaster Rovers in League Two.
Rowe was let go by the club in 2003 after being deemed too small but has built an impressive career in English football.
He is a name familiar to many Football League fans thanks to stints with Stockport, Peterborough, Wolves, Scunthorpe, Doncaster, and Bristol City across the Championship, League One, and League Two.
His achievements down the years include winning the League Two play-offs with Stockport, the League One play-offs and Football League Trophy with Peterborough, and Doncaster Rovers player of the year in 2021-22.
In fact, Rowe scored the winning penalty for Posh in the semis of the 2013-14 Football League Trophy to send them to the final, where they beat Chesterfield 3-1. He was the skipper of that side.
'I am asked questions about how long my career is and it is never defined. It's how I see it tomorrow,' he told the Yorkshire Post in 2023.
'It would destroy me if someone said I came into training and didn't care. That would be when I ended my career.
'Because I know until this point that I have done all I can do to put things right.

An extra pair of hands on deck could provide a boost to manager Erik ten Hag
'Whatever success is to everyone else is probably not the same version that I see for myself.
'I have aspirations of being in football for the next forty or fifty years. So I can't actually stop playing football as football has an ongoing appeal and will stay in my mind forever.
'I don't even think about retirement at any point. I just keep going. I have got that clear in mind.'
A boost for Erik ten Hag?
