Manchester United chief exec Richard Arnold is ready to hire a second football director.
The Manchester Evening News says Arnold has succeeded Ed Woodward as United's chief executive, while chief scout Jim Lawlor and head of global scouting Marcel Bout have followed the latter out of the door. On top of that, transfer chief Matt Judge appears set to resign from his post as the Red Devils continue to address the crisis currently crippling the club.
But the major restructure isn't set to end there. United are planning further significant changes in response to what has been a truly disastrous season.
One such change is said to see United appoint a second football director to work alongside existing chief John Murtough, who was promoted to the role last year. Murtough currently oversees the club's recruitment, with the aid of technical director Darren Fletcher, in addition to the legal department, following the news Judge is set to imminently vacate his role as United's director of football negotiations.
It is understood that chief executive Arnold is keen to make further significant changes to a number of the club's departments in a bid to alter the unwanted image United have established. Sources have also asserted that some staff have become 'too big for their boots'.
