Arsenal are reportedly interested in making renowned scout and recruiter Monchi their new technical director. However, Premier League rivals Manchester United are also linked with the Spaniard as they aim to restructure the setup at Old Trafford.
The Gunners put a new structure in place towards the end of Arsene Wenger's long managerial reign but have taken that further since apparently identifying the need for a technical director to work alongside managing director Vinai Venkatesham and head of football Raul Sanllehi.
Head of recruitment Sven Mislintat had seemingly been passed over as an option for technical director, despite earlier speculation that he could be in line for a promotion, resulting in him surprisingly leaving the club last month.
