Man Utd make major change behind the scenes as deputy football director leaves after two years

MANCHESTER UNITED are set to part ways with deputy football director Andy O’Boyle as their backroom shake-up continues.

The transfer guru joined United two years ago to assist former chief John Murtough, who left Old Trafford in April.

And he had a big say in this summer’s transfers, with Erik ten Hag splashing out on five major signings.

United landed defenders Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, as well as midfielder Manuel Ugarte and forward Joshua Zirkzee.

O’Boyle was also heavily involved in the exits of Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Scott McTominay.

But the Athletic claims he will now leave the Theatre of Dreams after also enjoying spells with Liverpool, Wrexham and England’s U21s.

It is unclear if United intend to replace O’Boyle after the club made a series of changes to its backroom following Ratcliffe’s partial takeover this year.
