Good news: Ed Woodward has been credited with helping Man United ponder a move for a new sporting director

Ed Woodward has been eyeing Atletico Madrid manager Andrea Berta, and Manchester United may make another run at luring him away.

Under Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils have gotten off to a horrifying start to the current season, losing six of their first ten competitive matches. As a result, Old Trafford may undergo some changes. It has been speculated that they wish to strengthen their football administration by recruiting more seasoned professionals.

The Independent reports that Berta, a player for Atletico Madrid, has been named again. It has also been reported that John Murtough’s position as director of football would not be affected by any appointment.

United wants to hold an investigation of the team’s poor start to the current season. Berta’s nаme has been mentioned in connection with a transfer to Old Trafford before.

Berta ultimately decided to remain with Atletico Madrid rather than leave. His work alongside Diego Simeone has been essential in the team’s recent success.

Berta’s arrival at Madrid in the 2013–14 season coincided with the club’s first league championship in 18 years. Since then, they have won the Europa League and the UEFA Suρer Cup in addition to a second La Liga championship.

Even Simeone’s squad has gotten off to a strong start this year. After seven league games, Atleti is presently in fourth place after winning six and losing one.

During his stint with Atletico, Berta has overseen several noteworthy player moves. Since coming to the club, he has helped secure the services of Antoine Griezmann, Jan Oblak, and current Manchester City player Rodri.

If the Red Devils want to entice him to England, they could have to compete with other teams. After losing Fabio Paratici, Spurs are looking to add to their football administration team, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is a possible destination.

If he does end up at Old Trafford, United will be hoping he can replicate some of his transfer success. Over the previous decade, the Red Devils have wasted a ton of money on erroneous signings like Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba, Fred, and many others.
