Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of coach Eric Ramsay from Chelsea to work on the club's set-pieces.

The club confirmed that Ramsay will come in to take ownership of the club's set-pieces, as well as working one-on-one with individual players.

“We've been fortunate enough to convince Eric Ramsay to come and join the best club in the world and in the country,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told ManUtd.com.

“He’s a very highly rated coach who is going to be working with individuals and in charge of set-plays as well.

“We’re excited. He’s young, fresh and with new ideas, an innovative coach we know from before. Kieran [McKenna] knows him really well from Loughborough, so we’re very pleased with that.”

Ramsay began his career at Shrewsbury Town in 2017, as head of coaching for the club's youth programme.

He was then promoted to Academy Manager, before going on to work with their senior team as assistant coach.

In the summer of 2019, he then joined Chelsea to work with Chelsea's Under-23s squad.
