Manchester United Under-23s boss Ricky Sbragia has left the club, Press Association Sport understands.
Having previously had a spell in charge of the second string, the Scot returned to the club in 2017 to lead the Under-23s.
United were relegated from the top tier of Premier League 2 in 2017-18 and last season finished sixth in the 12-team second division.
Press Association Sport understands that Sbragia has now left the club by mutual consent, with head of academy Nicky Butt to focus on the youth system’s structure as United move forwards.
United’s former second-string boss Warren Joyce is available after leaving A-League side Melbourne City earlier this month.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
