Manchester United are going through a massive revamp of their coaching staff, from the academy level to the first squad.
With Ruben Amorim joining the club and bringing with him most of his backroom staff, the main body of the first team coaches has completely changed from Erik ten Hag’s team.
However, the club have now added two truly impressive coaches to their academy set-up, revitalising the youth sides.

Manchester United’s new star coaches
Training Ground Guru has now reported that Tom Curtis and Simon Wiles have joined their Academy staff being referred to as “best-in-class youth developers”.
Curtis has taken on the role of Head of Player Development for the Youth Development Phase (Under-13s to U16s). Adam Lawrence who held the role previously has been promoted to lead the Under-18s side.
Before joining Manchester United, Curtis worked with the FA for a decade, leading the England YDP.
Meanwhile, Wiles has joined into the role of Lead Coach for the Under-14s side. However, he’s also taking on the responsibility for the development programme across the Under-13s side also. Wiles previously was the first team coach for Salford City for the last two and a half years.

Tommy Rowe returns to Manchester United
These appointments come after Tommy Rowe joined the Under-21s side earlier in the season working with the over-aged players. Rowe has taken on the role previously held by Tom Huddlestone and Paul McShane, returning to his academy club.
Writing on LinkedIn, Rowe said: “Returning to my boyhood club has felt like a real full circle moment in my career and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to give back into the Academy where it all started for me. It has been really special to see so many of the coaches, who I owe so much to, still connected to the club.”
