Steve McClaren and Mitchell van der Gaag appointed Erik ten Hag's assistant managers at Manchester United

Steve McClaren and Mitchell van der Gaag have been appointed Erik ten Hag's assistant managers at Manchester United.

The Dutchman has joined United on a three-year contract with the option of an additional year and he will be officially unveiled to the media on Monday afternoon. Ahead of that press conference, United have confirmed two backroom staff appointments, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Van der Gaag and McClaren, who were in attendance at United's final game of the season at Crystal Palace, have been appointed as Ten Hag's assistant coaches. Both have previously enjoyed successful spells with Ten Hag and the latter has already worked at Old Trafford. McClaren worked under Sir Alex Ferguson for two trophy laden years between 1999 and 2001.
