Mike Phelan

Mike Phelan took up the role of assistant manager on a temporary basis when Solskjaer was appointed caretaker-manager.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be joined by Mike Phelan as first-team coach, working alongside Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.

Australian police said on Saturday they had foiled an alleged terror bomb plot reportedly planned for Mother's Day, arresting a Melbourne teenager and detonating three suspected explosive devices.

The Dutchman's exit had been widely forecast following the departures of both Mike Phelan and Eric Steele, two other members of the backroom staff, since David Moyes replaced Alex Ferguson as manager following the veteran Scottish boss's retirement at the end of last season.
