Man United have confirmed the appointment of Andy O’Boyle as the club’s Deputy Football Director ahead of the new season.
O’Boyle will leave his role as the Head of Elite Performance in the Premier League to start his job at Old Trafford.
He will work under Director of Football John Murtough. His job will include working on the football strategy of the Women’s team, the development in the youth academy and also working with Murtough on first-team matters.
O’Boyle said: “I am thrilled to be rejoining Manchester United at such an exciting time for the club, as the first team prepares for a fresh start under Erik ten Hag, and the Academy and women’s teams go from strength to strength.
“Whilst it has been a privilege to serve the Premier League for the past five years, I can’t wait to get started at United and play my part in creating the right environment for football success.”
The Northern Irishman had actually worked as a coach in United’s academy 16 years ago, working with youngsters like Marcus Rashford.
He has also previously worked under Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool’s fitness coach, as well as having stints with Coventry City and England U21s.
