New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has promised change at the club, and that means there is no place for Mike Phelan in the Dutchman's backroom staff.
Phelan is a very well respected figure at United, and partnered Sir Alex Ferguson on the touchline before being brought back to the club by Ole Gunner Solskjaer in 2019. But Ten Hag is enforcing mass change at United, as he looks to succeed where others have failed with a new strategy.
That means that the majority of staff brought in by Phelan and Ralf Rangnick will leave Old Trafford this summer, with only two members staying on. However, although his time in the dugout is coming to an end, he may be handed a role elsewhere.
