Manchester United academy coach to leave for FA job

Academy coach Neil Ryan will bring his long stint at Manchester United to an end this summer, the club has announced.

The United Under-23s assistant coach has been a staff member at the club for 19 years and has had a hand in the development of plenty of youngsters who have gone on to enjoy long careers. Ryan has worked with 39 players who made a first-team appearance for the club.

Ryan — the son of former United player and coach, Jim Ryan — first joined the club in 2003. He started working with the Under-11s and has risen through the ranks in the near two decades since, becoming Under-18s lead in 2018 before switching to a role as the Under-23s assistant at the start of the current season.
