Manchester United will negotiate Mike Phelan's departure as assistant coach after he was told that he would have no part to play in the first-team set-up under Erik ten Hag.
The 59-year-old returned to the club under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a first-team coach before being promoted to the role of assistant manager three years ago.
Phelan remained in that role until Solskjaer's sacking last year but was kept on at the club as a first-team coach under interim manager Ralf Rangnick. The former Hull City manager cut a detached figure in the dugout following Solskjaer's sacking, but Rangnick leant on him more as the season progressed.
