Manchester United have confirmed that Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren have been installed as Erik ten Hag's assistants at Old Trafford.
Both Van der Gaag and McClaren, who watched the Reds lose 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, have worked with Ten Hag in the past, enjoying plenty of success together. Both will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to Old Trafford.
Van der Gaag, who has spent the past year serving as Ten Hag's assistant at Ajax, will join United subject to Governing Body Endorsement from the FA and a UK visa. The 50-year-old, who was a centre-back during his playing days, is a hugely experienced coach, both as a manager and assistant, working at the likes of PSV Eindhoven and NAC Breda, amongst others.
