Manchester United poach highly-regarded physio from Arsenal

Arsenal have lost Jordan Reece to Manchester United, which is definitely a blow to them as he had been at the club for nearly 12 years now and was a hugely popular and respected figure behind the scenes. 

He had been head physio since 2020 and is known as one of the best in the business. That’s why Gary O’Driscoll was so keen to take him to United. O’Driscoll, who is now head of sports medicine at Old Trafford, left Arsenal towards the end of last year to take up his new role in Manchester and so had worked with Reece for a long time.
