Manchester United have removed Mike Phelan from the first-team coaching staff but he remains contracted to the club.
Phelan has not been visible during Erik ten Hag's coaching sessions in pre-season and the club have confirmed Phelan is no longer involved in first-team affairs.
United are still in discussions with Phelan about a potential ambassadorial role. Former players Bryan Robson, Denis Irwin, Andy Cole and Wes Brown are the ambassadors present in Thailand for the club's pre-season tour.
