Manchester United are considering appointing Andy O'Boyle, formerly of Liverpool, as their deputy director of football.
The Red Devils hierarchy want to hire someone to assist director John Murtough, who has recently taken up the post and is tasked with a major overhaul in the north west. O'Boyle currently works with the Premier League where he is the head of elite performances. His current role sees him create programmes and initiatives that includes aspects such as fitness testing.
O'Boyle's varied knowledge has seen him earmarked as a top candidate by those doing the recruiting at Old Trafford. He joined Liverpool in 2011 and eventually became the club's first-team fitness coach whilst also working with England's U21s. Prior to that the Northern Irishman had worked with United's academy back in 2006. He also had spells at Wrexham and Coventry City.
