MANCHESTER, United Kingdom —
Manchester United chief scout Jim Lawlor and head of global scouting Marcel Bout have left
the club ahead of what is expected to be a busy summer in the transfer market.

The Red Devils are reeling from Tuesday’s chastening
4–0 defeat at rivals Liverpool, where the chasm in quality between the clubs
was clear from the outset.
Interim manager
Ralf Rangnick said after the match
that United needed as many as 10 new players in order to close the gap and a
shake-up to the recruitment team was announced on Wednesday.
Chief scout Lawlor has decided to end his 16-year
association with the club and Bout, who came to Old Trafford as part of Louis
van Gaal’s backroom team in 2014, has also left.
Recruitment has been pinpointed as one of United’s
major failings in a five-year trophy drought despite being one of the biggest
spenders in the transfer market.
Ajax boss
Erik ten Hag is expected to be named the
club’s new manager in the coming days.
And Rangnick highlighted the need for the new boss
to get the players he needs to fit his style of football.
“Before you sign those players, you need to know
what kind of football does the new manager want to play,” said Rangnick after
the 4–0 defeat at Anfield.
“Then bring every single player fitting into that profile.”
