John Murtough has resigned from his position as Manchester United's football director after 11 years, amidst an ongoing restructuring of the club's sporting operations led by INEOS. His departure, occurring this week, is part of a broader overhaul initiated by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United. Following Murtough's exit, Jason Wilcox is set to join the club as the new technical director, with duties being shared in the interim until Dan Ashworth starts as SD. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co-owner Joel Glazer have expressed their gratitude towards Murtough for his years of service and integrity during the transition period.
