Erik ten Hag has made a summer addition at Manchester United by bolstering his coaching staff with goalkeeping coach Jelle ten Rouwelaar - who only just penned a deal with Ajax
Erik ten Hag has moved quick to bolster his Manchester United coaching staff - bringing in goalkeeping coach Jelle ten Rouwelaar, who has recently been working at Burnley.
The goalkeeping coach had impressed with Vincent Kompany at Burnley and thus earned himself a switch to Amsterdam as of two months ago. The move had been in limbo due to Kompany joining Bayern Munich but United will look to iron out a deal with Ajax as soon as possible. The 43-year-old previously played a key role in Kompany landing the Championship title with the Clarets in 2023, coaching Arijanet Muric across the season. Kompany bought Ten Rouwelaar with him from Anderlecht in 2020.
He retained the faith of Ten Hag though, who worked with the goalkeeper during their days at Ajax. The Dutchman said after one error-strewn performance: “ football on the whole, will always be mistakes and this is one mistake. So we also don't make it bigger than it is. This was not just Andre and then, after that, he made, in the second half, great saves for us and he shows his capabilities and abilities. He will bounce back, and he is a very important player.
