The position of high -ranking scouting department will report directly to Christopher Vivell, who was appointed as MU's official recruitment director in February, after holding a temporary role in the short -term contract last summer.

At the age of 38, he is running the entire global recruitment activity, the recruitment system and developing the young talent of MU. Vivell reported to Jason Wilcox, who was promoted from the technical director to the football director after Dan Ashworth left this position.
Earlier, The Athletic reported in February that the recruitment segment is one of the areas that will have a cutting personnel. At that time, MU declined to comment because it was in the legal process of cutting personnel.

At the same time, the number of scouts will also decrease sharply when the second person's personnel reduction under Sir Jim Ratcliffe was implemented.
Ratcliffe once claimed that MU used up to 80 scouts was too much. A few years earlier, this figure was up to 140 people, including 50 full -time scouts and 90 part -time. It is expected that up to 200 people lost their jobs, after 250 employees were cut down last summer.
