Man Utd coach Mark Dempsey returns to training for first time since being rushed to hospital on pre-season tour of Australia – The Sun

MANCHESTER UNITED coach Mark Dempsey returned to Carrington to watch the first team train, just two months after being taken ill.

Popular figure Dempsey, 55, was taken ill during United's pre-season tour of Australia and was rushed to the Royal Perth Hospital where he was treated.

According to the Mail, the former Old Trafford midfielder was back at the Aon Training Complex on Sunday.

While he is not fully back in his old role, he hopes to return when he is fully back to 100 per cent health.

The United coach was taken by ambulance from Perth’s five-star Crown Towers, chaperoned by security and reportedly with a sheet covering his face as he was wheeled into the hospital.

He was later said to be suffering from dehydration but was in a stable condition.

His wife Susan confirmed at the time he had collapsed from exhaustion and sleep deprivation due to the intensity of training and the time difference.

After spells at United under Ron Atkinson and Sir Alex Ferguson, Dempsey broke back into football working with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde and Cardiff City.

He first got into coaching at Molde as the youth team coach in 2009 and Solskjaer then promoted him to first-team staff in 2010.
