Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta could be on the move to Manchester United.
Berta could be on his way to United as a member of Jose Mourinho's staff - should the Portuguese land the job.
The Mirror says Italian Berta is understood to be a close friend of Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes.
His arrival at Old Trafford would see the job of signing players moved from executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to him.
It would relieve Woodward of responsibility for securing the signatures of transfer targets, freeing him up to concentrate on the commercial side of United's operations.
