Former Manchester United midfielder Quinton Fortune has revealed he's working for the club in Africa.
Fortune admits he was lucky to get the opportunity to leave his homeland and pursue a career at the top level so he's keen to offer African youngsters a similar chance.
"I'm working for United but I'm hoping to do some stuff back home in South Africa with kids as well," he told ManUtd.com. "It's more to keep them off the street.
"I ran Fortune FC which was going well but had a few problems and didn't work out. Hopefully, I can start again and do even more to get kids into school and just give them a chance. I was given a chance at 14 and what a blessing that was.
"Football is just the best sport in the world, in my opinion. You can find it being played anywhere you go in Africa, across the continent. Football is the only thing that keeps people happy these days."
