Six members of Jose Mourinho's backroom staff at Manchester United revealed

Manchester United have confirmed Rui Faria will be the Red Devils’ assistant manager after revealing that six new additions were made to Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff at Old Trafford on Thursday.

The Portuguese tactician was appointed as United manager in May, following the sacking of Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman was relieved from his duties just days after he guided the Premier League giants to the FA Cup triumph in May.

After Van Gaal’s departure, his backroom staff were also allowed to leave, apart from Ryan Giggs. The Welshman’s future was also resolved earlier this month as he left United after spending 29 years at the club.
