Manchester United's director of football negotiations Matt Judge is set to resign, but the club have no plans to hire a like-for-like replacement, despite links to Monaco's Paul Mitchell.
The Athletic have reported that Judge, who had been involved in United's transfer business since 2014, will leave his position later this year and is currently working out his notice period. He will not be expected to play a role in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Judge's decision is thought to have come after a number of structural changes at Old Trafford, which led to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward 's departure earlier this year. His relationship with the club is understood to remain amicable, but his pending departure comes at an interesting time, given other developments behind the scenes.
