Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will retain final say on transfers after the management shake-up last week.
The Daily Mail says Solskjaer will have a final veto on transfers in Manchester United's new recruitment regime but incoming football director John Murtough will also be able to block transfers he doesn't think are viable.
United are keen that last week's appointment of Murtough and former player Darren Fletcher as technical director doesn't weaken the authority of Solskjaer whose side face top-four rivals West Ham on Sunday.
The manager has been given assurances the club won't buy any players he doesn't want but likewise Murtough won't sign off on targets he feels represent poor value after taking into consideration the data analysis and scouting reports from his wider department.
It's hoped the collective responsibility will help end some of the transfer decisions made post-Sir Alex Ferguson when several big-money stars like Angel Di Maria, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez arrived and left Old Trafford in quick succession.
Solskjaer has declared himself satisfied with the new system at Old Trafford.
"I was consulted. It wasn't my decision but I was very supportive of it," he said. "John is easy to communicate with. He knows what I want because we speak freely.
"The club would never buy a player that the manager of Man United didn't want. We do have a process. We've got the scouting and then the analysis, but it is always about the manager's remit.
"All the players who have come in have been identified by every one of us."
