Manchester United have appointed Andy O'Boyle as the new Deputy Director of Football.

O’Boyle has left his role as Head of Elite Performance at the Premier League to work with United’s Football Director John Murtough.

He will help with the Red Devils' strategy across the first team, the academy as well as a youth team.

O’Boyle is well acquainted with Carrington having worked in the academy 16 years ago helping to develop stars, such as Marcus Rashford.

Meanwhile, United manager Erik ten Hag is watching Mason Mount’s contract situation at Chelsea as he considers a shock move.

Mount has seen contract talks at Stamford Bridge hit a snag after the protracted takeover of the club by new owner Todd Boehly.

Ten Hag is well aware of the 23-year-old’s predicament and the Red Devils’ interest has already been registered with the forward's camp.

The Dutchman first became aware of Mount’s skills when he impressed on loan with Vitesse in the Netherlands.

The former Ajax manager has tracked the England international’s progress closely ever since, and given the chance, it is believed he would jump at the opportunity to try to tempt him to Old Trafford.

And Leeds star Raphinha wants to join arch-rivals United instead of Barcelona.

The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road after playing a key role in keeping the Whites up in the Premier League.
