Manchester United has had a busy start to 2026.
On January 5, head coach Ruben Amorim was let go.
This decision followed a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road.
Darren Fletcher has taken over as caretaker but has not won either of his two matches in charge.
In total, United has only won two of their last eight games, with their last win being on Boxing Day, a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
Michael Carrick is likely to become the interim manager, even though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was initially a strong candidate for the role.
Off the pitch, there is some unrest, particularly with Sir Jim Ratcliffe facing criticism from fans of OGC Nice, the other club he owns.
In an exclusive report, we have learned that Connor Hunter will be the new head of recruitment.
Currently serving as national scouting manager, this will be an internal change aimed at moving the club forward.
This news follows Paul Midgley’s decision to stay at Newcastle United instead of joining United.
The club’s recruitment has faced challenges since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, with many signings failing to meet expectations despite their reputations.
High-profile players like Radamel Falcao and Angel di Maria have struggled during their time at the club.
Meanwhile, local rivals Manchester City have emerged as the leading team in England, while Liverpool has secured multiple Premier League titles through smart signings.
Supporters will hope that Connor Hunter’s appointment can help restore United’s former glory after a tough period for the club.
