Manchester United have appointed former Liverpool coach Andy O'Boyle as their new deputy director of football.
O’Boyle previously worked for the Manchester club as an academy coach in 2006, but spent over five years on Merseyside as a fitness coach between 2011 and 2017. He'll now leave his role as head of elite performance for the Premier League.
He's also held roles with England's under-21s, as well as Coventry City and Wrexham. He'll now work under United's director of football John Murtough as they undergo changes this summer following the appointment of new manager Erik ten Hag.

O'Boyle told manutd.com : “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.”
Murtough said: “We are delighted to welcome Andy back to Manchester United to take up this important role in the club’s leadership. Andy has experience across all technical areas of football, from fitness and sports science to scouting and recruitment.
“This will make him a valuable addition to my team at Carrington as we continue to strengthen leadership and strategic planning across all our football activities.”
