Manchester United have ruffled some feathers with the changes they are making behind the scenes.

The Red Devils are working hard to modernize the club, as they look to ensure their backroom team is in line with modern-day standards.

Per The Athletic, one change that did cause some shock was the departure of chief scout Jim Lawlor, along with head of global scouting Marcel Bout.

The source adds that many people at United had a good impression of Lawlor, given his success during Sir Alex Ferguson's reign.

However, he also clashed with other club chiefs due to his approach, which may have led to his departure.

He was said to have a very high bar for signings and often vetoed suggestions from other scouts, which may have turned out to be good signings.
