Manchester United football director John Murtough departs amidst INEOS-led overhaul

Posted : 09 April 2024

Manchester United is experiencing a significant shakeup under the direction of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as John Murtough, the club's football director, steps down from his position. Ratcliffe's INEOS group has taken control of football operations at Old Trafford following their acquisition of a 27.7% minority stake from the Glazer family in February. This move is part of a broader effort to overhaul the club's leadership and management structure.

 

Under Ratcliffe's ownership, Manchester United has been actively restructuring its leadership team. The appointment of Omar Berrada from Manchester City as the new CEO and ongoing negotiations with Newcastle United and Southampton for Dan Ashworth (sporting director) and Jason Wilcox (technical director) respectively, signify a concerted effort by INEOS to implement comprehensive changes ahead of the upcoming season. Additionally, the future of manager Erik ten Hag is uncertain, with reports suggesting that the club is considering alternatives such as Gareth Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank, and Gary O'Neil.

 

John Murtough, who joined Manchester United in 2013 and was appointed as football director in 2021, has played a pivotal role in the club's behind-the-scenes operations. Having previously worked with Everton, Fulham, and the Premier League, Murtough was instrumental in rebuilding the club's football structure. His departure marks a significant transition in the club's leadership landscape, with former United midfielder Darren Fletcher expected to maintain his role as technical director amidst these changes.
