Manchester United first-team coach Gary Walker has tweeted confirmation that he’s set to leave his position at Old Trafford after 11 years.
Despite not perhaps being the biggest name on the Red Devils’ books, Walker has been with the club for over a decade, working as a fitness coach with the first-team.

The Norwegian tactician has worked wonders at United so far, but has done so with experienced club figures close to him like Mike Phelan and Michael Carrick.
It is by no means clear that Walker is a key part of that close-knit group, but one would imagine MUFC could do without making more big changes to their backroom team.
