Manchester United aiming to be a 'replica' of Manchester City | Premier League | NBC Sports

Premier League Insider David onine joins us now David we'll Begin by talking about both Manchester clubs if possible because it looks very much like the 180 that has happened going from United being the dominant to city now United are trying to make that switch back again yeah the tables they would like to think will be changing in Manchester in the years ahead because inos are now in after all you and I have spoken about them they'll be here today I'm sure the likes of sjim radliff s Dave brail

ford jeanclaude Blanc but arguably their biggest appointment so far is Omar Bara a story I broke exclusively taken as one of the chief Executives top Executives here at Manchester City to Manchester United to be the chief executive and he's going to really head up operations there but it doesn't end there because they would like to bring in Jason Wilcox as well he's the director of football at Southampton he formerly was at Manchester City too and there will be others such as Dan Ashworth as spo

rting director and maybe one more other key appointment but what I'm trying to explain is a a replica of sorts that may unfold at Old Trafford that is not too dissimilar to what Manchester City have built and that would extend to maybe the multiclub model because Manchester United um with inos on board now have ogc n as part of their setup and also loanne as well and the likes of barard will be charged with trying to bring United back to the top in perhaps a way that Manchester City have inosa r

eviewing everything at the moment and that will include Eric ha's position as manager there's constant scrutiny around him I don't think any firm decisions have been taken yet um they'll be looking at him studying his work and they will have thoughts of course about what they want to do the likes of barard will have ideas the likes of s Dave bford will have ideas we've seen reports that uh they've got admiration for gram Potter for example others have mentioned Roberto derer Gareth Southgate um

Michelle at uh uh uh at um the sister Club of Manchester City of course shirona and so all these thoughts will be in the mix but you've got to respect and I think inos do the job that Eric tenh is performing at Manchester United and they'll see what happens in the summer I don't get any sense of Emy any imminent change he's under contract until 2025 with the option to go on for one more year as well and so he will have to decide as well it's not unfamiliar to see new ownerships wanting to bring

in their own man so we got to watch this space in the summer not just on recruitments and other changes but on that managerial position and days like today will be critical in helping United inos form their decision based on style of football on character on atmosphere around the club because they desperately want to bring United back to the top in a way that Manchester City have already got there they have big decisions as well on the horizon Pep Guardiola under contract until 2025 but they're
