Top Manchester City scouts Dave Harrison and Lyndon Tomlinson are on the way to Manchester United.

The Daily Mail says they were lured by United to jump ship from the Etihad Stadium and will start in the new year.

Two others have been offered roles at United, with the club desperate to chip away at the progress City have made in recent years.

Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward sanctioned a root-and-branch review into recruitment and the academy, leading to the hiring of more than 50 new scouts with the help of headhunters Nolan Partners.
