Cole made a shock move to the Red Devils in January 1995 from Newcastle.

And while the former striker had a well-known feud with then-teammate Teddy Sheringham.

The ex-England international opened up on how he never said a word to Yorke during a game.

The 52-year-old said on the Stick to Football podcast brought to you by Sky Bet: "I never spoke to Yorke on the pitch."

Gary Neville then interrupted his ex-teammate and said: "What? I knew you were quiet but?"

Cole continued: "No, I never spoke to Yorke. I just look at Yorke.

"But sometimes too much information on a football pitch is too much.

"So basically me and Yorke played in silence. We just look at each other."

And the lack of communication did not matter as the pair formed a prolific strike partnership.

Cole scored 121 goals during his eight years at the club while Yorke scored 65 during his four terms in Manchester.

Not to mention the countless silverware the duo picked up along the way.

Cole during his time at United won five Premier League titles including three consecutive wins alongside two FA Cups and a Champions League.
