Manchester United manager Michael Carrick wants Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Andreas Georgson | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick wants to add a set-piece coach to his team, and Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Andreas Georgson is a target, according to The Athletic.

Carrick’s coaching team has been confirmed, but he could lure Georgson back to Old Trafford.

The Spurs coach became a set-piece coach with the Red Devils in July 2024, and his work was well-received.

Georgson joined Thomas Frank at Tottenham, but his services were retained after the manager was sacked.

He has since worked with new boss Roberto De Zerbi, helping Spurs hold on to their Premier League status following a 1-0 win over Everton today.

The Italian could look to make changes to his coaching staff, and Georgson could be on his way out.

He also works with the Swedish national team as one of Graham Potter’s assistants, specifically as a set-piece coach.

He first moved to the Premier League in 2019, joining Brentford as their head of set-pieces.

Georgson played a pivotal role in their set-piece efficiency, using a data-driven model to deliver improvements.

He moved to Arsenal in August 2020, working under Mikel Arteta before leaving in 2021.

He served as Malmo’s interim manager from July to September 2022, and later became their sporting director before leaving for Southampton in August 2023.

Georgson brings plenty of experience to the table, and Carrick thinks he could be a solid addition to his backroom staff.

Man United want to challenge for the Premier League title next season, and they could do with a quality set-piece coach given how crucial dead-ball situations have been to winning games in recent seasons.
