Manchester United announced on Friday that it had secured a new candidate, David Harrison, following former director of football operations Alan Dowson stepped down in July last year. Harrison, who has held the same position at Everton for 11 years, will officially take over next month.

Harrison, who also worked in Manchester United’s ticketing department before switching to Everton in 1995, said: “I am very excited to have the opportunity to take on this role and make a commitment to Manchester United. I will always cherish the memories of my 27 years at Everton. I wish Goodison Park and Finch Farm all the best for the future. Now, I will focus on helping Manchester United create the best operating environment to support the team’s success on the pitch.”

After joining Manchester United, Harrison will be directly under the Red Devils football director Metov. His main work will include football management, team travel and supporting players, including the work of the Red Devils men’s football, women’s football and football academy. Metoff believes that with Harrison’s extensive experience in these areas, United’s players and staff will find it easier to succeed on the pitch.

Candidate for the takeover of Manchester United, Qatar might land with Kylian Mbappé in its suitcases. The potential buyers of the Red Devils, already in control of Paris Saint-Germain, would consider transferring the French striker to England to keep him under their control.

At Manchester United, the sale process should see a breakthrough in the coming weeks. The takeover candidates had until Friday to submit their concrete offer. Among them, we can think that Qatar presented solid financial arguments. Even if the identity of his representative is unknown, with Emir Al Thani not allowed to own Paris Saint-Germain and the Red Devils, the Gulf country seems determined to prevail and circumvent the regulations. of UEFA.

Mbappé from PSG to MU?

This is obviously not good news for the reigning French champion. The capital club and its supporters might be relegated to the background in the minds of their owner, no doubt disappointed following so many years of investments and failures in the Champions League. And the rumor launched by the Spanish press should not reassure lovers of Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, the Fichajes site claims that Qatar wants to recover Kylian Mbappé from Manchester United.

For the Qataris, who have not forgotten the Frenchman’s desires elsewhere last year, it would be a way to keep the striker under their control. Suffice to say that this dirty trick would go badly on the side of Paris Saint-Germain, largely dependent on its striker under contract until 2024, with an additional year as an option. It remains to be seen whether Kylian Mbappé would be in favor of a departure for Manchester United. We know that the former Monegasque dreamed of joining Real Madrid. Anyway, the initiative of Qatar, if confirmed, would necessarily be a bad sign concerning its ambitions with the resident of Ligue 1.

Mbappé dreamed of Liverpool

And if there is an English club that makes Mbappé dream, it is rather Liverpool, the great enemy of the Red Devils. But with the financial means of one of the richest clubs on the planet, and the takeover of MU by Qatar, the pieces might be put in place to provoke an unexpected transfer to Europe. Especially since, with the arrival of Erik Ten Hag, a new, more attractive and convincing game is being put in place, and to remake Manchester United a stronghold of the Premier League. The Red Devils can indeed still believe in the title, and above all are in an ideal position to return to the Champions League quickly.
