ten Hag: There is no “risk” to come to Manchester United
Manchester United’s new coach Erik ten Hag has promised a change at the club, which means there is no room for Mike Phelan in the Dutchman’s back team.
Phelan is a highly respected figure at United, and teamed up with Sir Alex Ferguson on the sidelines before being brought back to the club by Ole Gunner Solskjaer in 2019. But Ten Hag is applying a massive change to United as seeks to succeed where others have done so. failed with a new strategy.
That means most of the staff incorporated by Phelan and Ralf Rangnick will leave Old Trafford this summer, with only two members. However, even though your time in the dugout is running out, you may be given a role elsewhere.

Ten Hag has been meeting and greeting his new teammates at United this week, and he has also said goodbye to those he is willing to replace when his project begins. The three men introduced by interim coach Rangnick will all leave, with first team coaches Chris Armas and Ewan Sharp following psychologist Sascha Lense through the door.
Goalkeeping coach Richard Hartis and stoppage play specialist Eric Ramsay have retained his place, and Phelan may be offered a new role elsewhere, depending on how the discussions turn out. United confirmed on Monday that Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren will be Ten Hag’s new assistants, with the arrival of one more first team coach.

Ten Hag has made a great promise as he pledged to break the recent dominance of Manchester City and Liverpool in English football. However, the Dutchman admitted that he will need time, and for the time being finishing in the top four is his main goal.
“I said this is the project, to get Man Man back at the helm, but we also have to accept the current situation we are in,” Ten Hag said. “First of all, Man United belongs to the Champions League, so that will be the first goal.”
Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba are prominent members of the first team squad that are underway, with questions about some others. So it will be a very different dressing room for United, as well as a renewed technical team.
Mike Phelan will be replaced as assistant coach at Man Utd
Rangnick has already taken on the role of consultant at the club, in addition to having agreed to coach the Austrian national team. And it is believed that Phelan may also be offered a role in the United States hierarchy.
Phelan may not have been able to help Solskjaer or Rangnick change the form of United, but he has a lot of experience at the club. And after being Ferguson’s No. 2, he knows what it takes to win at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag is excited to get started, although it has taken time despite the guarantees that United will challenge again. Assuming United do not make a surprise charge for the title next season, it will mark a decade without Premier League success.
