The Manchester United team doctor is reportedly expected to be 'expecting' a Premier League rival in a new blow to the club's back cream staff.
Jim Moxon leaves the club together with the head of sports medicine Gary O'Driscoll, with the first to be there to be opportunities elsewhere.
The departure is not supposed to be related to the final round of job reductions at Old Trafford or the large number of injuries in the first team, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The exit of O'Driscoll is a big surprise after he left Arsenal after 14 years to join United in September 2023 and was described as 'one of the most experienced and respected leaders in sports medicine'.
Sources say that he has decided that it is now the right time to resign, after he has driven a series of positive changes in the medical department and laid the foundation for further improvements.
Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo will probably be out for the rest of the season, while Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro, Harry Magire, Altay Bayindir and Jonny Evans are also put aside.
It is understood that the two doctors will remain in their role during a transition period to ensure that there is no interruption of medical support for the players, while United is launching a search for replacements.
The news came after Man United had confirmed in February that up to 200 more jobs could be lost as part of the last savage cost savings by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos.
The staff received the bad news from Chief Executive Omar Bercrada and Chief Operating Officer Collette Roche.
The dismissals will be a supplement to the 250 jobs that have been lost in the first cutbacks of Ratcliffe and Ineos last year.
'The new series of changes will see more staff moving from Old Trafford to Carrington to create a streamlined, football -oriented workforce that works from the training ground that is currently undergoing an upgrade of £ 50 million.
United confirmed reports that staff will no longer enjoy free lunches in the canteen at Old Trafford and instead fruit is offered-a movement that saves £ 1 million a year.
Catering schemes will remain the same in Carrington for the rest of this season, but then turn into a 'differentiated offer between staff and players'.
