Richard Arnold, the Red Devils’ general manager for 16 years, has just walked out the door, the first of many to come as John Murtough (director of football) and David Harrison (director of football operations) are also under threat. Jean Claude Blanc, current general manager of INEOS Sport and former manager of Juventus and PSG, is on track to take over from Richard Arnold as soon as the buyout of Jim Ratcliffe’s shares is completed. Concerning the position of sporting director of Manchester United, two candidates emerge and not the least.
