The 42-year-old joins from the Norwegian side Lillestrom, where he held the position of head coach since the beginning of the year. Georgson has a rich history in football, having previously served as caretaker boss for Malmo in his native Sweden, and also worked with Brentford, Arsenal, and Southampton.
In addition to Georgson, United have also appointed Jelle Ten Rouwelaar as goalkeeping coach following Richard Hartis' departure. In his new role, Georgson will work closely with Steve McClaren and Darren Fletcher, as United aim to improve on their eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season.
As part of their preparations for the upcoming season, United have already faced Rosenborg and Rangers in pre-season matches. They are now embarking on a tour of the USA, where they will face off against rivals Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as La Liga team Real Betis.
The Red Devils will then challenge Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 10, just six days before the start of the new Premier League season.
Despite rumors of job insecurity following last season's struggles, ten Hag managed to secure his position after leading United to an FA Cup final victory. The triumphant match saw United defeat rivals City at Wembley, thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
Liverpool.com says: Manchester United is certainly making changes off the field as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's revolution continues. But it remains to be seen whether these chess moves will be enough to drag a squad that finished eighth last season into the top four, let alone challenge for the title. It also seems that Erik ten Hag, who only just kept his job, is getting further support. Time will tell if these decisions pay off but, for now, we're not too worried.
