Manchester United appoint former Everton coach into Marcel Brands type role

Former Everton head of performance John Murtough has been appointed as Manchester United's new football director.

Murtagh worked his way through the ranks at Goodison Park before departing for a role with the Premier League back in 2012.

But just over a year later, Murtagh was reunited with former Everton manager David Moyes when he joined him at United - and is the last appointment still at the club - outside the playing staff - from the Scot's reign.

Murtough said: “This is such an exciting time for everyone at Manchester United.

"It’s a privilege to be part of that process, and an honour to lead Manchester United’s football department."

United have also appointed former midfielder Darren Fletcher as technical director in a major restructuring at the club.
