Swede Andreas Georgson, who joined the club less than 12 months ago, will no longer serve as United's first-team coach.

The club has just finished a post-season tour which featured a loss to the ASEAN All-Stars and a win over Hong Kong. When Georgson arrived at United, while Erik ten Hag was in charge, his main job was set-piece coach. However, when Ruben Amorim took over in November, responsibility for dead ball situations was taken away from Georgson. He arrived at Old Trafford from Norwegian side Lillestrom, where he was head coach. Georgson has also had stints with Southampton, Arsenal, Brentford and Malmo. Georgson said: 'It has been a fantastic experience, serving as first-team coach at Manchester United, and I will always be proud of my association with such a great football club. 'This period of my career has now come to an end, as I leave to find a new challenge elsewhere. 'While excited about the opportunities ahead, I am sad to be leaving so many great colleagues and friends at Carrington, who make Manchester United truly special. 'Even during such a tough season, the professionalism and dedication of the players and staff never wavered, and I know there will be better times ahead.' United's technical director Jason Wilcox said: 'Andreas has been a valued member of our men's first-team coaching set-up over the past year, and we are grateful for his significant contribution.
