Manchester United has brought in one of the world's leading athletics coaches in an attempt to stimulate their season, according to reports.
Ruben Amorim's side is knocked to the 12th in the table after a series of Dodgy form.
But in an attempt to stimulate the second half of the season, Amorim brought in the legendary track and field coach, Harry Marra.
Marra, 78, was named Coach of the Year of the World Athletic in 2016 after helping fellow American, Ashton Eaton to Olympic Decathlon Gold in 2016, which was a follow-up of a win in 2012.
He also served as the speed and fitness adviser for the Major League Baseball team San Francisco Giants.
Now, according to The Times, Marra shares his expertise with fitness and coaching staff at Carrington after Amorim reportedly had problems with body fat levels on his stars.
This regulation sees him in direct contact with the interim performance director of Man Utd, Sam Erith, and will take a few weeks.
The insight of New-York-born Marra will mainly lend itself to speed and endurance training, two things that are vital in the high-ooctaan system of Amorim.
Amorim said famous that he wants his players to run like “Mad Dogs”.
In December the man of the man Utd said: “It is very clear. If you want to win the Premier League, you have to run as Mad Dogs. If not, we will not do it, that is clear.”
The athletic claim that different stars have considered the use of personal trainers to give guidelines on running in view of the most important requirements that are set to them by Amorim's playing style.
Marra's world famous techniques include breaking down movements in mechanisms that follow specific principles.
Under Marra's custody, Eaton broke the record of the World Decathlon twice and only became the third man who defended his Olympic crown in the event.
He also worked with Brianne Theisen, a world and Olympic medal winner in the Heptathlon, who is also married to Eaton. Marra has officially organized the marriage of the couple.
Marra also coached Lalu Muhammad Zohri when he became the first Indonesian to win any form of medal at the World Junior Championships when he took gold in the 100m in 2018.
Speaking of his methods, he told the Santa Barbara Independent: “You have to listen to the athlete.”
Marra later added in an interview with chasing the standard on YouTube: “It all starts with the first movement of the part of the skill, so that if the first movement is correct, at least you have the chance to complete the skill correctly .
“So I focused on teaching the skills, understanding what the requirements of the skills are and then show how you can start and continue the runway.”
He was already seen that Old Trafford visited because he was seen for Sir Alex Ferguson for Sir Alex Ferguson while he was wearing a united training suit.
Man Utd often leading practitioners to share their insights to increase the knowledge of those in the club.
