Manchester United have appointed former Chelsea technical director Christopher Vivell as their director of recruitment on a full-time basis.
Vivell reports into technical director Jason Wilcox, who has taken on greater responsibility since the sudden exit of sporting director Dan Ashworth in December.
He joined United on a short-term basis as their interim director of recruitment last summer, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe makes sweeping changes behind the scenes.
Vivell has reportedly signed a multi-year contract at Old Trafford following an interim spell in the position.
Vivell has had an influence on signings so far at United including Sekou Kone.
