Steve McClaren could be set to provide some home truths for several members of the Manchester United squad if, as expected, the former England manager is appointed as one of Erik ten Hag's coaches.
Incoming boss Ten Hag will get down to work at Old Trafford in the summer, and he has informed club chiefs of his desire to appoint McClaren as one of his trusted lieutenants.
The pair worked together in McClaren's first spell in charge of FC Twente in 2008, when Ten Hag served as his assistant, and the former England boss is now set to return to a club where he served as No.2 to Sir Alex Ferguson between 1999 and 2001.
