Explained: Why Steve McClaren hasn't travelled to the US for Man Utd's pre-season tour as new title under Erik ten Hag is revealed

Premier League

Ipswich

The Red Devils jetted off to Los Angeles to continue their summer preparations for the upcoming season with matches against Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool. However, the Premier League side left former England manager McClaren at home.

WHAT HAPPENED?

McClaren was not fit to make the journey across the ocean because he recently underwent surgery on his foot, which has limited his mobility, according to a report from the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13671121/MAN-UNITED-CONFIDENTIAL-Marginal-gains-help-stars-settle-Oscar-winning-actor-plans-visit-Erik-ten-Hag-Steve-McClaren-stayed-Carrington.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. Instead, he has stayed in Manchester and will start working with the United players who will arrive back in training too late to join the tour.

THE EXPLANATION

Meanwhile, there has been a change to McClaren's position among coach Erik ten Hag's staff. Following the addition of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rene Hake to Ten Hag's managerial team, McClaren's title has been altered from assistant manager to senior first-team coach.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While the bulk of the United squad compete in friendlies, the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Joshua Zirkzee, Lisandro Martinez, Alejandro Garnacho, Facundo Pellistri and Altay Bayindir will return to Carrington to train with McClaren and other staff after they were all given extra time off due to their role in international competitions.
