Manchester United Director Of Football Negotiations Resigns From Position

Manchester United's transfer strategy for the summer has taken another twist, with confirmation that director of football negotiations Matt Judge has quit the club.

The director of football has been in his position since 2014 and was previously considered to be working closely with Ed Woodward, before he left the club at the end of last year.

Judge is still working his notice period, and isn't on gardening leave, but will not be part of the club's strategy for transfers in the upcoming window.

John Murtough, the club's first ever director of football, will now have full control of the transfer policy, alongside technical director Darren Fletcher.

There has been talk of the club looking to appoint Paul Mitchell, who is currently Monaco's director of football, and has previously worked at RB Leipzig, where Rangnick also worked.

The club have been constantly criticised for their scouting and recruitment, with claims that they've gone for big name signings rather than players who they needed.

The change in structure at Old Trafford could certainly be seen as a good thing, especially in the wake of Woodward leaving, who was at the heart of much negative press over their transfers.

However Judge did help negotiate Ten Hag coming in as the new manager and him leaving so abruptly might not be such a good thing.
