Manchester United to appoint new coach

Manchester United are to appoint Simon Wiles as a new coach according to journalist Alan Nixon.

Manchester United are now winless in five games after drawing at Villa Park this afternoon.

Heading into the international break, they sit 14th in the English Premier League after their worst start in Premier League history.

Last summer, United brought in three new coaches to assist Erik ten Hag in his coaching duties.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rene Hake and Andreas Georgson all joined the Dutchman in the dugout.

INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe want to run United more efficiently in every aspect, from the coaching staff to the transfer policy, all the way down to the staff lunch provisions.

Chido Obi-Martin officially joined the club on Friday as the latest recruit.

And now the focus has switched to the coaching side.

United are to appoint Simon Wiles from League 2 side Salford City to be their new U16s coach according to journalist Alan Nixon.

The 29-year-old’s playing career saw him move around between lower league sides before stepping into a coaching role at Bamber Bridge in 2015.

He progressed through the ranks to join Fleetwood Town as the head coach of their U18s and eventually their senior manager in 2021.

After this, he joined Salford City as a first team coach and had a short spell as the side’s interim manager.

It was announced in September that Simon Wiles would be leaving Salford to take up an opportunity with an unnamed English Premier League side.
