Manchester United is pleased to announce the appointment of Omar Berrada as its new CEO.

The Club is determined to put football and performance on the pitch back at the heart of everything we do. Omar’s appointment represents the first step on this journey.

As one of the most experienced football executives at the top of European football, Omar brings a wealth of football and commercial expertise, with a proven record of successful leadership and a passion to help lead change across the Club. He is currently serving as Chief Football Operations Officer for City Football Group overseeing 11 clubs across five continents and, prior to this, held senior roles at Barcelona.

It is our stated ambition to re-establish Manchester United as a title-winning club. We are pleased that Omar will be joining us to help achieve that goal, so that, once again, United fans can see, in the words of Sir Matt Busby, the red flag flying high at the summit of English, European and world football.

Omar’s start date will be confirmed in due course; in the meantime, Patrick Stewart will continue as interim CEO.

wonder what this means to Blanc, Board position?

I think Blanc is CEO of INEOS sport, so Omar reports to him.

Going to need another Laurie Whitwell tree diagram of ManUtd positions when all this is over.

oh yeah found an article, he oversees the whole sporting side of INEOS, it's weird that he was connected to the United CEO job then that would be stepping down a level
