Manchester United are determined to find a Director of Football.

United recognise the method of having the manager controlling every aspect of the footballing structure is not sustainable.

And they want to find someone who can act as a liaison between the boss and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

The Evening Standard suggests that after parting with Jose Mourinho, United will search for a caretaker boss and a Director of Football.

Candidates include the likes of Andrea Berta and Paul Mitchell.
