MANCHESTER UNITED are planning a scouting overhaul in a desperate bid to find world-class talent.
Jobs for first-team scouts in Spain and France, as well as a recruitment analyst, are up for grabs at Old Trafford.
Applicants can apply on the club's website but will be under pressure to unearth rough diamonds capable of restoring United to their former glory under boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Talent spotters in Spain and France will be tasked with attending and watching matches in their respective areas and completing scouting reports and providing player ratings.
While the new recruitment analyst will need to process and study reports that come in and "identify players who demonstrate the potential to play for the first team".
United's drive to find young talent is a completely different approach to recent years where they signed older stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
In fact, they sent eight scouts to this month's Euros Under-21 Championship as they up their search for the future generation.
The Red Devils have so far signed 21-year-old pair Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

United to employ recruitment analyst

There are plenty on here who have a lot of experience in watching youtube videos of players.
I encourage those people to apply for the position in order to tell us how bad it is behind the scenes.

Just checked the job specs and I don't think that these roles are anything we aren't already doing. Just looks like we are fattening out or replacing.

I think the bigger issue is the cook (Woodward) doesn't actually know what he's trying to cook, and spending loads of money on all sorts of fancy ingredients that don't compliment each other doesn't make a good dish.

Or the Head Chef (Woodward) doesn't know how to cook.
