The former England manager joined United for a second time in 2022, having previously been Assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson from 1999 to 2001.
McClaren’s move means United Head Coach Erik ten Hag now has an almost entirely new coaching team for the 2024/25 season. Rene Hake and Ruud van Nistelrooy have joined as Assistants, Andreas Georgson as First Team Coach and Jelle ten Routwelaar as Goalkeeper Coach.
Meanwhile, Benni McCarthy, Mitchell van der Gaag, Richard Harris and now McClaren have all departed.
Ten Hag said: “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.

“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.”
McClaren, who will continue to oversee the return of international players to pre-season training at Carrington before departing after the rest of the squad return from our US tour next week, added: “I wish to say a huge thank you to everyone at Manchester United for their friendship, help and support during the past two years.
“I am delighted to have played my part in helping Erik deliver two trophies to the club and for my final game to have been our FA Cup victory over Manchester City, there can be no better note on which to end.
“I have no doubt the foundations that are in place at Manchester United will see the club challenging again soon for all the major trophies.”
