Manchester United have officially confirmed the arrival of Jelle ten Rouwelaar as first-team goalkeeping coach.

The Dutchman is the latest addition to the club’s coaching set-up and is part of the squad that has travelled to Norway for their first pre-season friendly fixture against Rosenborg on Monday.

Ten Rouwelaar joins United after just two weeks with former side Ajax, who he joined after a two-year spell working with Vincent Kompany at Burnley came to an end. It is understood United paid a fee of €100,000 to the Dutch club for his services.

Ten Rouwelaar retired from professional football in 2016 and immediately took up the position of goalkeeper coach for former side NAC Breda. During his four-year spell as their specialist coach, he also spent a year in a duel role on the Netherlands Under-20 coaching staff before he was headhunted by Kompany to join him at Anderlecht. When the Man City legend took over at Burnley two years ago, he took Ten Rouwelaar with him, where they guided the Clarets back to the Premier League before they were relegated after a season back in the top-flight.
