Hannon appointed Head of Sports Nutrition at Man Utd

Marcus Hannon has been appointed Head of Sports Nutrition at Manchester United as the club continue their summer staff rebuild.

There have been a huge number of departures from United over the last year as the club cuts its headcount. In February, Chief Executive Omar Berrada informed staff of a fresh wave of redundancies, saying that up to 200 were set to lose their jobs, following on from 250 in the summer of 2024.

One recent exit was Performance Nutritionist Thomas Maynard, who had worked for United for 21 months, and who is now Performance Nutritionist for Al Ain in the UAE. In his place at United has come Hannon, who has been Lead Performance Nutritionist for the Qatar FA and for the Aspire Academy for the last two years.

Prior to this, Hannon was Head of Nutrition at Aston Villa from 2020 to 2022. At United, he will work closely with Will Carvalho, who joined from Brighton to become their Head Performance Chef last month.

Hannon presented on TGG’s Recovery Webinar, giving expert insights into ‘nutrition in a congested fixture schedule.’ You can buy the Webinar as a one-off or watch it for free if you’re a TGG Member.
