Proof that City have a serious problem? Manchester United have poached a key manager

The transfer of a key Manchester City manager to the ranks of rival United may be a signal that City have a serious problem.

Everything used to be different. Under Alex Ferguson’s stewardship, the red part of Manchester not only ruled the English league. But twice ascended to the top spot in the Champions League. But with the end of the legendary Scottish manager in 2013, everything changed fundamentally.

In the last six years alone, the Pep Guardiola-led City have won five championship titles. And last season the side finally triumphed in the Champions League. However, it is possible that another change is in the offing.

Indeed, there has been speculation for some time about City’s long-standing and serious breaches of financial fair play. As an extreme punishment, in addition to financial penalties, the holders of nine championship titles may have some of them stripped and relegated to the second tier.

A spicy transfer in Manchester

A possible indication of the fact that the situation may indeed be serious is the departure of key manager Omar Berrada. This “transfer” is all the more piquant. Because the new employer of the experienced official will be Manchester United from the new season.

The future CEO of The Red Devils has also worked for the famous Barcelona in the past. He will replace Richard Arnold at United, who was dismissed by the new management of the 20-time English champion.

“Omar is one of the most experienced managers at the highest level of European football. Both in business and football,” United’s club website says, adding that Berrada will also be on the club’s board of directors.

As it seems, the new management, headed by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, is serious about restoring Manchester United’s already somewhat tarnished glory.
