Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign a director of football for next season. According to Guillem Balague, however, the Red Devils are not in any rush due to the presence of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian is not hurrying the process to bring in a director of football but should United bring one in, he shouldn’t be given a lot of power.

“There was a process at Manchester United that included the different candidates to get the right manager. They accelerated that by getting Solskjaer, and I believe Solskjaer is not in a rush to get a director of football or is suggesting that if he comes he won’t be somebody with a lot of authority,” Balague said on his official YouTube account.

“So, that has been put to the back burner, and it has to do with the fact that right now Solskjaer has gained a good amount of authority.”
