Eric Ramsay, a young and talented coach, has recently made a big career move. He has left his position as assistant coach at Manchester United to join Major League Soccer team, Minnesota United, as their new manager. This comes after the previous manager, Adrian Heath, parted ways with the team in October, leaving them without a permanent leader.
Negotiations between Ramsay and Minnesota United have been moving quickly and he has officially signed a contract with the team. However, his start date is still uncertain as he is in the process of finalizing his visa paperwork before he can make the move. In the meantime, interim coaches Sean McCauley and Cameron Knowles have been leading the team, but Knowles will be in charge for their upcoming game against Austin FC.
According to ESPN, Ramsay signed the deal on Thursday and will continue to work with Manchester United and their current manager, Erik ten Hag, for the next three games. This includes an important match against Manchester City on March 3rd. Ramsay, who is only 32 years old, joined Manchester United back in 2021 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the coach. He is highly regarded as one of the top young coaches in English football.
Ramsay's coaching career began at Swansea City, where he worked with youth teams. He then spent two years at Chelsea's academy before briefly coaching with the Wales national team alongside Rob Page. In 2021, he made the move to Manchester United and has been working closely with Ten Hag and other coaches like Mitchell van der Gaag, Steve McClaren, and Benni McCarthy.
Interestingly, Ramsay had the opportunity to become the permanent manager of Blackpool Town last year, but he decided to stay at Manchester United to continue his development. He is known for his expertise in set-pieces and one-to-one coaching, and Solskjaer praised him when he joined the team. "We've been fortunate enough to convince Eric Ramsay to come and join us," Solskjaer said in an interview. "We're excited to have such a young, fresh, and innovative coach on our team."
As Ramsay embarks on this new chapter in his career, fans and colleagues alike are eager to see how he will make his mark on Minnesota United. With his impressive background and skills, he is sure to bring a fresh perspective and valuable expertise to the team. And while his departure may be bittersweet for Manchester United, they can take pride in knowing they played a part in shaping such a promising coach.
