Atletico Madrid strategist Andrea Berta is reportedly one of the leading candidates being considered by Manchester United for a director of football role.
The Evening Standard's James Robson reported Berta was on a shortlist of names compiled by United's executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward. That list is also thought to include Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici and RB Leipzig head of recruitment Paul Mitchell, once a talent-spotter for Southampton.
Atletico's website detailed that Berta joined the club in 2013 from Serie A side Genoa and climbed from scout to overseeing the complete technical operation at the Wanda Metropolitano, including the first team, youth and recruitment.
