Man United set to welcome three Dutch coaches
Erik Ten Hag is set to be accompanied by three of his fellow countrymen. After the last season, United decided to part ways with Benni McCarty and Richard Hartis. Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Rene Hake were reported to join United earlier. Now, former Dutch keeper Jelle Ten Rouwelaar is rumoured to become new United goalkeeping coach.
Benni McCarty was often seen missing in away games last season. His absence has been heavily criticised as the club was only able to score 57 goals. As a result, United have decided to let McCarty go after his contract expired earlier this month. Richard Hartis who has been club’s goalkeeping coach for the past four years is also set to leave Old Trafford. Hartis was brought in by Ole Gunner Solskjaer in 2019. During Solskjaer’s time as United manager, Hartis used to be present in the dugout. However Ten Hag made Hartis to sit in stands with analysts.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Rene Hake and Jelle Ten Rouwelaar are set to join the Dutch manager at United. However none of them have been officially announced by United as the club is waiting to obtain their work visas. Rene Hake has previously worked as PSV Eindhoven manager and Van Nistelrooy has worked as Go Ahead Eagles manager. Ten Rouwelaar has already worked in Premier League for Burnley under manager Vincent Kompany who recently joined FC Bayern Munich. Two months ago, Ten Rouwelaar agreed to join Ajax but now is set to make his move back to Premier League.
