With the opening of the transfer window just two months away, Manchester United aren't giving out the impression of a club with their ducks in a row.
The resignation of director of football negotiations Matt Judge this week is the latest sign of an institution unsure of itself. Judge was United's go-to man for agents and, as his job title suggests, was essentially in charge of the numbers when it came to doing deals.
To lose someone in that role when talks with agents will be stepping up a gear now the end of the season in sight doesn't portray much sign of stability, but it's clear that change is afoot at Old Trafford as well.
