Lawrence to continue as Man Utd U21s chief

[Getty Images] Adam Lawrence is expected to continue as Manchester United's Under-21 boss this season. Lawrence quit as United's Under-18 boss at the end of the 2024-25 campaign and eventually took up a role at Newcastle in charge of their Under-21 side. However, he lasted just three months before he quit, returning to United a matter of weeks later when Under-21 coach Travis Binnion was called up to the first-team coaching team in the wake of Ruben Amorim's dismissal. After initially assisting interim boss Darren Fletcher, Binnion remained in place when Michael Carrick got the job and will stay as part of his coaching team for the forthcoming Premier League campaign. Talks have been continuing with Lawrence, who is well regarded at United, and while there has been no official announcement on his future yet, he returned to Carrington this week and has been planning for the new PL2 season. Last term he led under-21 side to the PL2 play-off final where they were beaten by Brighton.
