Liverpool are planning to appoint a former Manchester United goalkeeping coach to Jurgen Klopp’s backroom staff.

Jack Robinson, who currently works as the National Goalkeeper Coach at the Football Association, has been offered the chance to work alongside John Achterberg with Liverpool’s first team.

Liverpool’s senior goalkeeping coach Achterberg is overseeing the appointment, seeking assistance as he works with four keepers a day at the club’s training complex.

While Achterberg continues to focus on working with the senior keepers Alisson Becker and Simon Mignolet – and will remain a visual matchday presence in the ‘dug-out’ - the new appointment would help the young deputies such as teenagers Kamil Grabara and Caoimhin Kelleher.

Previously, Robinson worked at Old Trafford for seven years, where he was a colleague of Eric Steele and Frans Hoek, coaching keepers of the highest calibre like Edwin van der Saar and David de Gea.
