Manchester United Set to Appoint First Director of Football in Their 140-Year History

Manchester United are set to appoint the first director of football in their 140-year long history in order to adopt a more streamlined approach in the transfer market, after Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho expressed his frustrations at the club's dealings.

As reported by the Guardian, the appointment will come once the club's current restructure and expansion of facilities is complete.

The move has been made with the intention of continuing a certain style of football at the club as well as a transfer policy that will not be disrupted by the introduction of new managers.
