Ten Hag breaks his silence on Steve McClaren's Man Utd exit

Steve McClaren has decided to leave Erik ten Hag's coaching staff at Manchester United to begin a new adventure as Jamaica's new head coach.

"I want to thank Steve for his tremendous service over the past two years. He has been an invaluable source of support and advice to me since I arrived in English football, helping us achieve two trophies while laying down foundations for further success," Ten Hag said.

"Steve and I have been friends for 16 years since we first worked together at FC Twente and that relationship will continue as he embarks on this next challenge, as will his bond with Manchester United. All of us at the club wish Steve the best of luck in his new role," he continued. 

McClaren will take charge of Jamaica as soon as he can as his first game in charge will be against Cuba on September 6 in the CONCACAF League of Nations.
