Arsenal have been dealt a huge blow as their head of medical services Gary O’Driscoll has been 'poached' by Manchester United, according to The Athletic.

O’Driscoll, 52, was on the verge of signing for Liverpool in 2020 before opting to stay. He has has also turned down other opportunities to leave.
However, United have managed to lure him from the Emirates Stadium in a switch that is expected to be completed later this summer.

The former Harambee Stars coach has revealed why he might not be coming back to the dugout any time soon
The Englishman is extremely popular at Arsenal and was not seeking to go, though it appears the United chance proved too good to refuse and also enables O’Driscoll to move closer to his family in the North-West.
United have needed to fill their vacancy since Steve McNally departed in December 2022 and was replaced by former Liverpool doctor Jim Moxon on an interim basis.
Moxon could remain part of the set-up under O’Driscoll, who previously worked in rugby and is viewed among the best operators in his field.
