Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen to retain Eric Ramsay - the final coach appointed by Ole Gunner Solksjaer - as part of his Manchester United backroom staff despite interest from Barnsley.
A number of changes have already been made to United's staffing set-up since the Dutchman's eagerly-anticipated arrival at the end of the season just gone. The 52-year-old has brought assistant Mitchell van der Gaag with him from Ajax while Sir Alex Ferguson 's former No.2 Steve McClaren has also completed an Old Trafford return.
More changes are expected to follow in the coming weeks as Ten Hag continues to craft his perfect support team, but one key figure who looks set to be retained despite interest from elsewhere is Ramsay. The man who proved to be Solskjaer's final staffing appointment is being hotly pursued by Barnsley as they seek to solve their managerial crisis.
