Andy O'Boyle has been named new deputy football director at Manchester United.
O'Boyle moves from his role as head of elite performance at the Premier League and returns to United 16 years after he first worked at the club's academy with players like Marcus Rashford.
He has also worked as one of Jurgen Klopp's fitness coaches at Liverpool.
The Northern Irishman, who also played at United's centre of excellence as a boy before focusing on coaching and sports science, will work with football director John Murtough as part of the new-set-up at Old Trafford.
"We are delighted to welcome Andy back to Manchester United to take up this important role in the club's leadership," said football director John Murtough.
"Andy has experience across all technical areas of football, from fitness and sports science to scouting and recruitment.
"This will make him a valuable addition to my team at Carrington as we continue to strengthen leadership and strategic planning across all our football activities."
O'Boyle is due to complete his UEFA pro licence this summer, and is also working towards a doctorate, having already achieved a Masters in sports science.
He said: "I am thrilled to be rejoining Manchester United at such an exciting time for the club, as the first team prepares for a fresh start under Erik ten Hag, and the academy and women's teams go from strength to strength.
"Whilst it has been a privilege to serve the Premier League for the past five years, I can't wait to get started at United and play my part in creating the right environment for football success."
