Man Utd to overhaul physio department amid fitness concerns

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is seeking to restructure the physiotherapy department at Manchester United, with appointments expected to be made soon.

Goal has learned that United will bring in a new head physio, a role currently occupied by Richard Merron. The potential new recruit has been identified as Celtic’s Tim Williamson, the Scottish club’s head of physiotherapy, with United having recently been interviewing a substantial number of candidates for the role.

Further appointments are expected, with an as-yet unnamed assistant to Williamson anticipated to arrive from Championship side Leeds United while more positions could be added.
