Man United's football director John Murtough 'is set to LEAVE the club ahead of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival' - with Red Devils chief 'poised to follow CEO Richard Arnold' out of the club

Manchester United are reportedly set to axe football director John Murtough amid an overhaul to the club's structure, ahead of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival.

Ratcliffe’s £1.3billion investment, for a 25 per cent stake of the club, is expected to be confirmed next week, but could take a further two months to be ratified by the Premier League.

Despite this, the club have already begun to make notable changes to their hierarchy, as United confirmed on Wednesday that CEO Richard Arnold would gbe stepping down from his role at the club.

Now, according to the Daily Star, Murtough will follow Arnold out of the door at Old Trafford as the club prepare for a new era under the incoming British billionaire.
