Returning Manchester United coach Steve McClaren will be heavily in the day-to-day work.
The Athletic says he will be “used on the grass" in training and that he will be helping the new man with “selections and player development" rather than performing an executive role.
Incoming manager Erik ten Hag worked under McClaren during his time as Twente head coach, helping the Dutch outfit to a second-place finish in the Eredivisie.
McClaren then won the title the following year after Ten Hag had departed.
His previous experience of working at United occurred between 1999 and 2001 when he was assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson.
He was part of the staff that led United to the treble in 1999 but he left to take over at Middlesbrough in 2001.
