Former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan claims he was a manager in all but name for his last five years at Old Trafford.
The 51-year-old was Alex Ferguson’s right hand man since replacing Carlos Queiroz in 2008, having been the club’s first team coach for the preceding seven years, but insists his responsibilities were more than that of an obedient understudy.
Phelan, who also won a Premier League title and FA Cup as a player under the Scot, has been out of work since David Moyes took charge in the summer and made wholesale changes to the coaching staff.
