Man United set to poach another one of Mikel Arteta's staff members as Gary O'Driscoll moves to bring in former colleague

Arsenal physio Jordan Reece is reportedly set to leave the club to join Manchester United.

The Red Devils hired Arsenal doctor Gary O'Driscoll last summer, bringing his 14 years at the north London club to an end.

He arrived from Arsenal with a reputation as being one of the most progressive doctors on the Premier League circuit and has extensive experience of top-level sport having worked with the British Lions, Ireland Rugby, Saracens and British Cycling. 

O'Driscoll is currently leading an overhaul of United's 'outdated' medical department after a string of injury issues in recent times.

And he has moved to bring in a former colleague in the form of Reece to help with this process.

O'Driscoll's modern approach makes him well-suited to revolutionising United's medical division that numerous insiders have described as 'out-dated'.

Reece will take the role of United’s head physio, effectively replacing Robin Sadler who left the club in January. 

Final negotiations over Reece's contract are currently taking with a start date yet to be decided.

The move comes amid concern behind the scenes that United's rivals are significantly more advanced in terms of sports medicine, putting the Old Trafford club at a disadvantage in terms on-the-pitch performance.
