Former Nottingham Forest boss secures Man United role as transfer decision looms on James Garner

Former Nottingham Forest boss Steve McClaren has made a return to coaching - and to one of his old clubs.

The 61-year-old has been appointed as one of the assistant coaches to new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, with Mitchell van der Gaag also taking up the same role. McClaren was previously assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford from 1999 to 2001.

The appointment sees McClaren reunited with Ten Hag, who was his number two when he was in charge at Dutch side Twente. Van Der Gaag, meanwhile, has spent the last year as Ten Hag’s assistant at Ajax.
