Manchester United lacked direction for years under the stewardship of Ed Woodward and their results on the pitch reflect that. They're now five years without a trophy and nearly a decade without a league title.
Something needed to change and with the departure of Woodward, it seems like that is finally happening. John Murtough has been appointed as United's director of football and he is set to oversee the club's footballing operation under Richard Arnold.
The Manchester Evening News understand Erik ten Hag will become the club's next permanent manager, replacing Ralf Rangnick who will move into a consultancy role. Ten Hag has a very specific style of play and if he is to be successful, a number of players will need to be signed in the summer market. Given United's track record of scouting players, however, a lot of fans aren't confident in their ability to identify the right players.
