Although Christopher Vivell will initially join #mufc on a short-term basis to help with the summer window, an extended stay will be likely. [@TelegraphDucker]

#mufc believe Christopher Vivell’s expertise and experience around talent identification, player recruitment and contacts will provide a valuable complement to Jason Wilcox and Dan Ashworth as they expand football operations. [@TelegraphDucker]

It is thought that there are two key factors behind the move.

Scouts have previously been left surprised by requests from former football director John Murtough to make their reports more “eloquent” than simply describing a player as quick, strong or athletic. United co-owner Joel Glazer was said to read all the reports on a Monday.

“The most common concern by far, however, is that the hard work of identifying talent and beating other clubs to the punch has been let down over the years by a lack of speed, clarity and certainty in decision-making.”

I wonder why
 
Gonna have a super strong u16 and u 18s again this season!


Manchester United are signing winger Samuel Lusale from Crystal Palace.

Lusale, 16, played in Slovakia's three group games at the Under-17 European Championship in May and was in Palace's FA Youth Cup squad last season.

According to Andy Mitten this morning
 
“Everyone knows Alex Ferguson and I had our differences, believe me. But the fella managed one of the biggest clubs in the world, from daily training, signing players to youth development. He ran the club top to bottom for 26 years, doing everything with huge success, so when I heard Klopp was tired after coaching some players for 9 years of relative mediocrity, with only one league title in that time, I thought give me a break. Tired? Really? Come off it man. He has endless staff, directors of football and all that malarkey. Players and managers have it cushy these days and have no rights to complain, especially about being tired.”

Sounds like a 2 year deal which is what I was hoping for.

Yep. Now let’s announce Ruud and Hake and get ready for pre season and the coming season.

Lads return to training next week. Strange one as most players are likely to be sold, potentially sold and still in talks for having there 1yr extension triggered. Pretty much all the squad that are guaranteed to stay are at tournaments. And our potential new signings won’t even be on the tour due to this reason.

Gonna be a pretty big juggling act to see us through the start of the seasons early run of games.

S houses.

Can’t bin the multi-millionaire players. So S all over those they can. ‘’Money saved will go on first team" is a particularly egregious way of phrasing this to get football twitter kids to back the decision

Proper Tory behaviour.

While I feel sorry for those that have lost there jobs. I knew this was coming as soon as it was reported by Ducker, Mitten, Ornstein and Whitwall that we have nearly double the amount of staff running the club then any other top team in Europe.

And there will definitely be a huge clear out in players and wages don’t worry about that!
 
Confirmed he’s now officially started by Orny.



Exclusive: Christopher Vivell has today started work as Manchester United’s director of global talent after work permits signed this morning. He will report directly to Dan Ashworth
