Steve McClaren has been confirmed as Erik ten Hag's new assistant manager at Manchester United, but Paul Scholes has suggested that he could be better used elsewhere.
Ten Hag has already proceeded to make a lot of changes to the backroom staff at United as his rebuild gets underway, and the experienced Mike Phelan will no longer be the no.2 in the dugout. McClaren will instead take his role, as he re-joins United after initially leaving the club in 2001.
McClaren was Ten Hag's assistant at Twente back in 2010, but has since been filling other roles, most recently at Derby as a technical director. And that's why Scholes thinks that McClaren will be better suited to a advisory role over being assistant manager at United.
