Former Shrewsbury Town coach Eric Ramsay lands a Manchester United role
Former Shrewsbury Town coach and interim boss Eric Ramsay has earned a job in football's elite as first-team coach at Manchester United.
Ramsay, who is just 29, spent two years in the under-23 set-up at Chelsea but is now part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's management team.
"We've been fortunate enough to convince Eric Ramsay to come and join the best club in the world and in the country,” said Solskjaer.
“He’s a very highly rated coach who is going to be working with individuals and in charge of set-plays as well.
“We’re excited. He’s young, fresh and with new ideas, an innovative coach."
Shrewsbury-born Ramsay lived in the Montgomeryshire village of Llanfyllin, where he went to school, prior to his move south.
Ramsay joined Town's academy in 2017, as manager, before stepping in as first-team coach and then taking caretaker charge with Danny Coyne after the sacking of John Askey.
He was also the youngest British coach to gain the top UEFA Pro Licence badge in 2019.
