Arsenal’s head of medical services Gary O’Driscoll is set to join Manchester United.
Talks over the doctor’s move have been ongoing over the summer with the respected practitioner now expected to move north.
O’Driscoll has roots in the north-west and the switch allows him to move closer to home.
It is not the first time O’Driscoll, who originally joined in 2009, has been approached by a Premier League rival.
He came close to leaving for Liverpool in 2020, a move he gave serious consideration to. But he eventually stayed to play a key role during Mikel Arteta’s days.
