The Daily Mail reports that United are not yet done in reshaping their academy team.
The paper states that, “United have launched another raid on Newcastle’s academy in a bid to strengthen their recruitment operation.”
The Red Devils had made an offer for Newcastle’s head of youth recruitment, Paul Midgley, in December but he turned down the role.
The Daily Mail is now stating that the club “have headhunted their Premier League rivals’ lead youth technical scout Harvey Busby to fill the role of lead national scout at Carrington.”
Were he to accept the role, it is thought he would be in charge of the under-14 to under-16 age group.
The Red Devils also famously enticed former sporting director Dan Ashworth away from Newcastle in 2024, but he only lasted a matter of months at the club before being replaced by Jason Wilcox.
