Speculation surrounding Eric Ramsay should not come as a great surprise to Manchester United given his stock as a coach.
Once again, the Welshman is being linked with a managerial role in the English Football League - at League One side Blackpool, who have been previous admirers of the 31-year-old. The Seasiders have just been relegated from the Championship and it remains to be seen who succeeds Mick McCarthy on a permanent basis, with Stephen Dobbie having taken interim charge at the end of the season.
Ramsay has reportedly emerged as a candidate though, with Blackpool having wanted to hold talks with the United man back in January. Erik ten Hag and co stepped in, though, to prevent a move from transpiring. Ramsay is clearly highly regarded at United - where his popularity with the players has been made common knowledge. He is also the assistant coach for the Wales national team, after getting the green light from Ten Hag earlier this year. Ramsay's pedigree and respect in the game is extremely high.
