Manchester United team doctor 'expected to join' rival Premier League club after exit of head of sports medicine Gary O’Driscoll was confirmed

Manchester United's team doctor is reportedly 'expected to join' a Premier League rival in another blow to the club's backroom staff.

Jim Moxon will leave the club along with head of sports medicine Gary O’Driscoll, with the former said to be keen to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

The departures are not thought to be related to the latest round of job cuts at Old Trafford or the high number of injuries in the first-team, per The Daily Telegraph.

O’Driscoll’s exit is a huge surprise after he left Arsenal after 14 years to join United in September 2023 and was described as ‘one of the most experienced and respected leaders in sports medicine’.
