Atletico Madrid chief Andrea Berta is being offered to Manchester United.
The Daily Mail says Jorge Mendes could still try to convince Manchester United to allow Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta to join Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Berta is close to Mendes, the super-agent who travelled to England on Tuesday to conclude contract talks between Mourinho and United.
It remains to be seen whether Ed Woodward, the club's executive vice-chairman, would consider creating a position for a director of football, given their resistance in reshuffling so far.
