Manchester United are undergoing a huge overhaul behind the scenes and it is understood Erik ten Hag's trusted right-hand man Mitchell van der Gaag has left the club
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag's trusted assistant Mitchell van der Gaag is understood to have left the club.
Van der Gaag, 52, was popular with United's players and his ability to speak five languages, including English, Spanish and Portuguese, made him an important figure in terms of communicating with such a cosmopolitan squad. United are refusing to comment on the situation regarding Van der Gaag, but former England coach Steve McClaren, part of Ten Hag's coaching staff for the past two years, is understood to be continuing in his role.
United, who were back in training yesterday, travel to Norway on Monday to play Rosenborg in their first pre-season friendly, before facing Rangers at Edinburgh's Murrayfield on July 21.
