United are keen to reorganize the way in which the club conducts its transfer business, with a sporting director central to the new set-up at the club.
There are claims that the club would like to hire someone who has previously seen success in a similar role with Atletico Madrid director Andrea Berta reportedly on the list.
The report suggests that United are ever more keen on a move for Berta which has led Atletico to offer the Italian a ‘huge new deal' in order to stay at the club.
