Who is the Red Devils' new transfer chief? Goal brings you everything you need to know
Manchester United have taken the plunge and finally followed the trend set by other European giants by appointing a director of football to lead their transfer market crusades.
High profile names such as Edwin van der Sar, Ralf Rangnick and Paul Mitchell had been touted for the role, but it was internal candidate John Murtough who ultimately landed the gig.
"This is such an exciting time for everyone at Manchester United with the first team, academy and women’s team all performing strongly, and plenty of development still to come," Murtough said at his unveiling.
