Manchester United's director of football Matt Hargreaves has started his work this summer.
The former Adidas executive was seen by the Red Devils as the man to lead their summer recruitment drive.
Hargreaves is taking over from Matt Judge, who was in the position until 14 months ago.
Per Manchester Evening News, Hargreaves will work with sporting director John Murtough and others to finalize transfers.
Manager Erik ten Hag will have a say in who is bought and sold, but does not deal with negotiations or finances.
United are hoping that Hargreaves' experience can help them complete deals swiftly and within budget.
