Leicester City Face Uphill Battle to Keep Senior Backroom Staff Amid Interest From Man Utd

Leicester City are trying to fend off interest in their head of player recruitment Eduardo Macia from a number of teams across Europe, including Manchester United and Milan.

The Spaniard moved to the King Power Stadium in 2016 following a brief stint with Real Betis in La Liga. It is Macia's second spell working in England, having previously worked as the chief scout at Liverpool.

Macia has seen his reputation across the continent grow tremendously during his short stay with Leicester City, and the 44-year-old is now being tipped for a move elsewhere.

The Daily Mail claim that Manchester United have shortlisted Macia in their search for a technical director, while Italian giants Milan are looking to persuade him to join Arsenal's former chief executive Ivan Gazidis at San Siro.
