"In the years since, that potential has grown significantly and there is every reason to believe that with continued hard work and development a bright future lies ahead." Manchester United



Manchester United's new defender Leny Yoro has been seen on crutches and wearing a foot protector, raising doubts his fitness ahead of the new season. (0:47)

"I had no hesitation in accepting a position that is ideally suited to me at this stage of my career," he said in the Jamaica FA's statement. "Prior to returning to Manchester United for a second spell, I spent time at FIFA as a Technical Adviser on their Global Eco Analysis project. Jamaica was one of the teams I worked with and I quickly came to realize the potential the county possesses.

"In the years since, that potential has grown significantly and there is every reason to believe that with continued hard work and development a bright future lies ahead."

Man United said McClaren would oversee the return of international players to pre-season training before departing to take up his new position when the rest of the squad returns from their tour of the U.S. next week.

"I want to thank Steve for his tremendous service over the past two years," Ten Hag said in United's statement. "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."

Added McClaren: "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.
