Mitchell van der Gaag has been confirmed as one of the assistant coaches at Manchester United.
The former England manager, who was Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant at Old United between 1999 and 2001, has not been seen in a coaching role since he managed Queens Park Rangers in the 2018/19 season.
The Dutch head coach of FC Twente, Ten Hag, is the new United boss, and he has previous experience with McClaren.
Van der Gaag had been the manager of the reserve team at the Dutch club for the previous two years before he was hired as the assistant to Ten Hag. McLaren and Van der Gaag were at Selhurst Park to watch Manchester United lose to Crystal Palace.
One of the most successful periods in the history of United was when McLaren was a member of the coaching staff. The first half of 1999 saw the club win the treble under Ferguson, while the second half saw United win the league titles.
He was made a coach for the England national team after managing a Carling Cup triumph and then became the Three Lions boss after the 2006 World Cup.
After England failed to qualify for Euro 2008, he took up head coach roles in the Netherlands with Twente and in Germany with VfL Wolfsburg, before returning to his home country to manage Derby.
