#1 Monchi chased by Barca and United
There is perhaps not a single director of football that is as celebrated as Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo, who is also known as Monchi. After around 17 years at Sevilla, Monchi left the Spanish club to become the director of football with Roma.
His time in Spain was highly fruitful as he not only helped Sevilla, who got relegated to the second division when he arrived, become one of the best teams in Spain but also helped build a squad that won the Europa League three times in a row from 2014 to 2016.
Sevilla also won the UEFA Cup in 2006 and 2007 with him at the club. So it is safe to say that he is one of the greatest scouting minds in football, which is perhaps why Manchester United want him.
According to Don Balon, both Barcelona and Manchester United are set to lock horns in order to capture the Roma director as they are looking to build a squad capable fighting on all fronts not only now but in the future as well.
