Manchester United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe hire yet another manager to help Erik ten Hag

Manchester United have added Andreas Georgson to their coaching staff as the latest addition to the squad behind Erik ten Hag.

Aged 42, he joins from Norwegian side Lillestrom, where he has been head coach since the beginning of the year. Georgson has a rich history in football, having previously served as caretaker boss for Malmo in his native Sweden and also had stints with Brentford, Arsenal and Southampton.

In addition to Georgson, United also appointed Jelle Ten Rouwelaar as goalkeeping coach following the departure of Richard Hartis. In his new role, Georgson will work closely with Steve McClaren and Darren Fletcher as United aim to improve on their eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season.

As part of their preparations for next season, United have already faced Rosenborg and Rangers in pre-season games. They now embark on a tour of the USA where they will face rivals Arsenal and Liverpool as well as La Liga side Real Betis.

The Red Devils will then challenge Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 10, just six days before the start of the new Premier League season.

Despite rumors of job insecurity following last season’s struggles, ten Hag was able to secure his position after leading United to victory in the FA Cup final. The triumphant game saw United defeat rivals City at Wembley thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

Liverpool.com says: Manchester United are certainly making changes off the pitch as Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s revolution continues. But it remains to be seen whether these chess moves will be enough to drag a team that finished eighth last season into the top four, let alone challenge for the title. It also appears that Erik ten Hag, who just kept his job, is getting extra support. Time will tell if these decisions pay off, but for now, we’re not too worried.
