Manchester United and Chelsea are attempting to follow Liverpool ’s lead in the transfer market by appointing Michael Edwards.
The transfer guru only left Anfield earlier this year following a hugely successful spell on Merseyside. During his 11-year stint with the Reds, he progressed from technical analyst all the way to sporting director with his eye for a player proving particularly useful for a number of managers.
Fierce rivals Man United have already been credited with an interest in appointing Edwards as they plan a major reshuffle of their recruitment department. The Red Devils have wasted vast sums in the market since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson and there is hope that Edwards could help get them back on track.
