Manchester United are currently undergoing a massive overhaul of their club's backroom under the leadership of Richard Arnold, who has decided to delegate more responsibility to 'footballing people'. John Murtough has been the driving force for much of this change which has already seen a number of high-profile staff members leave Old Trafford.
Matt Judge has left United after 10 years at the club, while United's recruitment also seems to have been overhauled with the exits of chief scout Jim Lawlor and head of global recruitment Marcel Bout. Reports on Sunday claimed the club is looking to appoint a deputy director of football to assist Murtough with the running of the club.
Paul Mitchell is a name long-linked with Old Trafford, and a popular target among fans after success at the likes of Southampton, Tottenham, RB Leipzig and most recently AS Monaco. His personal ties with Ralf Rangnick and the much-needed large-scale rebuild on the pitch made Mitchell appear a perfect match.
