Man United desperate to land Atletico Madrid chief Andrea Berta

English Premier League outfit Manchester United are keen on the restructuring following the sack of the former manager Jose Mourinho in December last year.

While the poor results contributed to why the Portuguese international was shown the way out, the fact that there were fracas between the former Chelsea boss and the executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward over transfer dealings made it necessary for the club to seek for a restructuring that will have a sporting director take the responsibility of transfer activities.

This is why the Red Devils seek to speak with Spanish La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid sporting chief Andrea Berta in order to have him switch to the English Premier League club.

According to reports, United are hoping to land Andrea Berta as the technical director of the team having recognized the success he has achieved at the Spanish capital.

However, the Red Devils will have to be convincing enough in their bid for Andrea Berta knowing that Atletico Madrid are not willing to part ways with him anytime soon.

Andrea Berta has been given the credit for helping Atletico Madrid win the 2012/14 La Liga title as well as reaching the finals of the Champions League in 2014 and 2016.
