Manchester United are giving Ruben Amorim two coaches from Erik ten Hag's staff

Manchester United have kept Darren Fletcher and Andreas Georgson from Erik ten Hag's backroom staff.

There was uncertainty around Ruud van Nistelrooy following the conclusion of his undefeated interim spell in charge but his departure was confirmed at the beginning of the week.

Van Nistelrooy couldn't continue as part of Ruben Amorim's new backroom staff and Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel followed him through the exit door.

Amorim has brought his own coaches to Manchester, which meant members of Ten Hag's backroom staff had to leave, but Fletcher and Georgson have survived the exodus.

Fletcher formerly held the inaugural technical director position at United but became a first-team coach again following Ineos' appointment of Jason Wilcox from Southampton.

The 40-year-old has acted as the conduit between the academy and the first-team in the last few years and is seen as an important member of staff, which is why he was kept.

Under-21s manager Travis Binnion has regularly praised Fletcher's influence and a source has said 'you couldn't find somebody at Carrington with bad word to say about him'.

Fletcher will continue to act as the bridge between the academy and the first-team, advising on which youngsters should be involved in senior training, during Amorim's tenure.

Georgson has also been kept to work with Amorim and, speaking in an interview with Skanesport this week, he explained what responsibilities he has as the set-piece coach.

"I am responsible for fixed situations, individual development and drive the work with our identity as a team together with the head coach," said Georgson.

"The job was perfect, but the timing was bad. My first special competence is set pieces and throw-ins and that is also what we have prioritised during the first period. That's where I have a unique knowledge bank and a unique method, which has worked in all clubs.

"Over time, we have also laid the foundations for the individual development programme and our identity as a team, and slowly I have also started those processes, which is very fun.

"Few think it's fun to practice, but everyone knows that a third of goals are scored on set pieces. I have to be clear to the players. 'Less is more' is often true.

"I'd rather practice fixed situations with full attention for ten minutes than for two hours without commitment, these are details that can statistically decide five table positions up or down."

Georgson has a strong CV, having worked in roles focusing on set-pieces for Brentford, Arsenal and Southampton and was appointed by technical director Wilcox in the summer.

He wasn't an appointment made by Ten Hag and is seen as someone who can help Amorim.
