Man City’s CEO set to join Man Utd

The recent reports revealed that Omar Berrada has exited Manchester City and is set to be appointed as the new chief executive of their rivals Manchester United.

Man United have been without a CEO since Richard Arnold left the club.

The Red Devils are said to have reached an agreement with Berrada, who has played a key part in Man City’s recent on and off-the-field success.

Man City’s statement read: “Manchester City Football Club can confirm that Omar Berrada has resigned from his role as Chief Football Operations Officer at City Football Group.

“The club understands his decision to look for a new challenge and he leaves with our thanks and best wishes.”

Once the deal becomes official, Berrada will become Man United’s first appointment since British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his firm INEOS agreed to buy a 25% stake in the club.
