MANCHESTER UNITED have made former Chelsea chief Christopher Vivell their permanent director of recruitment on a REDUCED salary.
But after United sacked sporting director Dan Ashworth in November, Vivell’s role as director of recruitment has been made permanent.
Vivell will oversee club recruitment around the world, while also taking charge of United’s scouting system and young talent operation.
However, Vivell’s new agreement has seen him take a pay cut a day after United announced they are set to make a further 200 redundancies.
Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Malo Gusto, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana were also signed permanently, while Joao Felix arrived on loan.
