Mike Phelan

Mick Phelan

Considered one of the most astute coaching minds in the game, Mike Phelan was an integral part of Manchester United’s most successful years, as right-hand man to Sir Alex Ferguson, when the club dominated the Premier League.

United, of course, are much more than a football club, and, in his years at Old Trafford, Mike has seen from the inside how United transformed themselves into a multi-million-pound business and global brand.

Mike is now back at the club with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer drawing on his vast experience and knowledge as United seek to return to the summit of English and European football.
