Sir Jim Ratcliffe could bring a new sporting director to Manchester United if his bid for a 25% stake of the club is accepted, a new report claims.
Ratcliffe's group are close to confirming that they have bought a quarter of the Premier League club, and want to take charge of the footballing side of operations.
And talkSPORT believe that one of the names in the frame to be a senior figure at the club is one with prior top-flight experience at Tottenham and Southampton.
