Central Coast Mariners sporting director Mike Phelan is set for a return to the Old Trafford touchline as an assistant coach alongside Jose Mourinho's Manchester United replacement Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
According to the Telegraph, Phelan, who was Sir Alex Ferguson's No.2 between 2008 and 2013, will partner forrner Red Devil Solskjaer on the sideline for the rest of the Premier League season as United seek stability following Tuesday's sacking of Mourinho.
United made the decision to sack Mourinho after a 3-1 loss to Liverpool left the club 19 points adrift of Jurgen Klopp's league leaders and 11 points shy of the Champions League qualification spots.
