Manchester United have lost top French scout Mathieu Seckinger to Olympique Marseille.

The French club have already poached two members of United's scouting team in David Friio and Omar Sciolla.

And now they've made it hat-trick as Marseille's Head of Football Pablo Longoria transforms the backroom staff, reports The Sun.

Seckinger spent five years with the Red Devils and was recently promoted to first-team scout after years as a Academy Youth Scout.

He was responsible for picking out youngsters Aliou Traore, Noam Emeran, Hannibal Mejbri and Willy Kambwala.

Traore, 20, joined the club in 2017 and is currently spending the campaign on loan with French side Caen.

The news will come as a blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is set for a busy summer in the transfer market.
