Manchester United’s Recruitment Plans Take Shape as Christopher Vivell Stays On
Manchester United may be struggling on the pitch, but behind the scenes, the club is already laying the groundwork for a crucial summer transfer window. With the team enduring a disappointing season under new manager Rúben Amorim, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos group is working to restructure the club’s recruitment strategy.
One of their key moves is securing Christopher Vivell on a long-term deal as United’s permanent director of recruitment. Having initially joined on a short-term basis, Vivell’s expertise has impressed the new leadership, earning him a more influential role in shaping the club’s transfer plans.
Vivell’s Influence: A Step Toward Revamping United’s Attack
Vivell’s track record speaks for itself—he was instrumental in bringing Erling Haaland to Red Bull Salzburg, and now, he may have his sights set on another promising young striker: Benjamin Šeško. The 21-year-old RB Leipzig forward has been a standout performer in the Bundesliga, attracting interest from multiple top clubs, including Arsenal.
United’s struggles in front of goal have been evident, with Rasmus Højlund enduring a 17-game goalless streak. The addition of a prolific forward like Šeško could be exactly what the Red Devils need to reignite their attacking force. Given Vivell’s past connection with the Slovenian striker—having played a role in his move to Leipzig—United may have a slight edge in the race for his signature.
Competition for Šeško Heats Up
Despite United’s growing interest, securing Šeško won’t be easy. Reports suggest Arsenal have already put in significant groundwork to sign the talented forward, and with the Gunners currently fighting for the Premier League title, they may offer a more appealing project. Additionally, United’s uncertain European qualification status could make negotiations more challenging.
However, Vivell’s presence at Old Trafford could be a decisive factor. The recruitment chief has previously praised Šeško’s blend of speed, aerial ability, and technical strength, calling him a “special player with enormous potential.” If United decide to prioritize a move for the young striker, Vivell’s influence could play a key role in convincing him to join.
A Crucial Summer Ahead for United
With Manchester United sitting in a disappointing league position and financial concerns looming, the club must make smart, strategic moves in the transfer market. Reinforcing the attack will be a top priority, and Vivell’s appointment signals a clear intent to build for the future.
