Salford City are expected to confirm the appointment of Neil Wood as their new manager once they complete negotiations aimed at securing his release from Manchester United.
The 39-year-old has been in his post as United Under-23 boss for almost three years but is poised to take on his first senior management role. The Ammies, backed by a clutch of former Red Devils stars including Gary Neville and Paul Scholes, are on a ruthless pursuit of promotion out of League Two having failed to qualify for the play-off positions in all three seasons in the EFL since promotion in 2019.
Wood, a former reserve captain at United, will become Salford's fourth permanent manager since entering the Football League.
