Oxford United is set to appoint a new head coach, with former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey favored to take over.

The U's parted ways with head coach Matt Bloomfield on Saturday, nearly two months after suffering relegation to League One.

Ramsey, a three-time FA Cup winner, has impressed the club's higher-ups in an earlier meeting and is now training for his UEFA Pro License.
