Manchester United are on the hunt for a new sporting director in the summer to assist Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in trying to get the Red Devils back amongst Europe’s elite.Ed Woodward, executive vice-chairman of the Premier League giants, is set to introduce a new role which will take over responsibility for the clubs transfer dealings, as part of a restructure at United this summer.
5Rio Ferdinand
The Red Devil legend has met up with Woodward over the position and is the frontrunner for the job.He is an admirer of Solskjaer and the pair achieved great things together in their playing career, could they do it again?Fabio Paratici
The Italian has been in the sporting director role at Juventus since 2010, playing an instrumental role in the club’s eight consecutive title successes.He has been responsible for signing some immense talent, including the likes of Paulo Dybala, and he may be the perfect fit to propel United to glory again.
5Edwin Van der Sar
The former shot-stopper is another person whose name has been thrown into the hat.He is enjoying life as CEO at Ajax as the Amsterdam club go through their best spell in recent memory – with a Champions League final now in sight following their victory over Spurs on Tuesday evening.Paul Scholes
The former midfielder had a bad stint in charge of Oldham but his hard-hitting and honest approach could be exactly what United need.He cares deeply about the club and you couldn’t suggest he would not give his all to the role.LIVE ON talkSPORT

Gary Neville
The ex-Red Devil turned Sky pundit failed miserably as manager of Valencia but there’s no question he has a good understanding of the game.He has been brutal in his assessment of where it’s gone wrong and he knows the identity of the club more than anyone.Eric Cantona
The Frenchman is a fan favourite and appointing him would please the Old Trafford faithful.He has been mooted as the man who could bring attractive attacking football back to the forefront of the club.
5Michael Zorc
The Borussia Dortmund sporting director is one of the best in the business and will take some convincing to leave his post with the German side.He has transformed BVB’s recruitment policy into one of the best in football, earning plaudits from clubs around the world as they pick up young talents.
5Paul Mitchell
The former Spurs talent-spotter is now at RB Leipzig and has helped the Bundesliga side to their highest ever finish from his recruitment.He would be keen to play youth and promote players from the talented players from the academy – perfect for Manchester United.Peter Schmeichel
The best keeper in United’s history has made it clear he wants to be considered for the role.He will command the respect of those around him due to his stature at the club and will sort out the deadwood in the current crop of players.
