Travis Binnion has been named new coach of Manchester United's U18 team.

He replaces Neil Ryan, who is to assist Neil Wood with the Under-23s.

Binnion previously worked with the Under-16s following his arrival from Sheffield United in November 2019.

Ryan replaced Kieran McKenna as the U18 coach three years ago but has moved up to the U23s for the new season. The U23 squad is expected to be younger than last season, with the majority of the older players scheduled to leave on loan, says the Manchester Evening News.

United have planned for there to be more 'flexibility' between the U23s and U18s, with Ryan the obvious link between the two squads.
