Ex-Shrewsbury boss Ricketts: No surprise Man Utd nicked specialist coach Ramsay from Chelsea

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted with the impact of new coaching addition Eric Ramsay.

Ramsay is renowned as a set-piece specialist and was signed from Chelsea.

Ramsay previously worked at Shrewsbury Town and Swansea City and arrived this summer following a glowing recommendation from United first-team coach, Kieran McKenna, who he studied alongside at Loughborough University.

Former Shrewsbury Town boss Sam Ricketts told the Telegraph: "He's a clear thinker, he's got a good tactical brain and a real level of detail in what he does.

"That is why he went on first to Chelsea from Shrewsbury and now finds himself at Man United.

"His personality is the big thing. He's a people person. He's a very rounded individual who won't be fazed by anything but who will be very attentive and detail-driven in everything he does."
