Ex-Middlesbrough boss Steve McLaren was confirmed as Erik ten Hag’s assistant at Manchester United earlier this week.
The 61-year-old knows the Dutchman very well as they previously worked together at FC Twente, two years after he left Middlesbrough.
They will also be joined by ten Hag’s Ajax No. 2, Mitchell Van der Gaag.
McLaren has been out of coaching since he was sacked by QPR in 2019, but went on to spend a year as a technical director at Derby County.
