Manchester United's official announcement! CEO Alexander-Arnold will step down at the end of the year! A big blood change begins! Can the new management system be revived?

Authoritative media outlets such as Sky Sports, TA and Brother Stone have confirmed that Manchester United CEO Trent Alexander-Arnold will step down before the end of the year. It's mid-November, which means it's almost time to do the math, which means that the previous TA report that Ratcliffe wants to rebuild Manchester United's management system by the end of the year is correct, and the management system will start with Trent Alexander-Arnold's resignation.

At present, Manchester United may be succeeded by Blanco as CEO and Mitchell as director of football, and in addition to the commercial management personnel, the football affairs personnel may have a major change. Ratcliffe's partner Blackford will be heading to Carrington, presumably to assess the competency of United's current staff, and Ratcliffe believes the Reds need the best players in England, but that doesn't look like that's the case at the moment.

In any case, Ratcliffe's connections in the world of sport are not comparable to Glazer's, and he has been able to find enough football management talent to flesh out United's management team, including a recruitment framework, a logistics management framework, and a data analysis framework.

Arnold's resume has always been commercial, having joined PricewaterhouseCoopers in 1993, where he was involved in the privatization of Saudi Telecom, then a global telecommunications company, and then InterVoice where he was responsible for sales and marketing for international channels, before being recruited as head of commercial for Manchester United, which was run in Mayfair, London, New York and Hong Kong.

Now Manchester United's director of football, Mutov, is an Everton academy employee, who has been the head of youth coaching at Fulham, and has successively served as head of analysis at Coventry, head of sports science management at Everton, director of development at Everton, and first joined Manchester United as head of youth and then participated in the rebuilding of Manchester United women's football. Mutov and Alexander-Arnold are not among the senior team members who have strong connections with agents and sports administrators.

Therefore, even if Manchester United has started a large-scale blood change this year, including the reorganization of the youth academy and scouting department, Manchester United seems to rely more on the recommendation of intermediaries and the release of recruitment advertisements.

Yes, Manchester United has always been a traditional maneger system, the head coach manages, trains, and plays, but this is based on the establishment of Ferguson's unparalleled prestige, Ferguson's long-term coaching, David Gill and Edwards and others are willing to be green leaves, and now Manchester United cannot find another Ferguson, and it is difficult for another Ferguson to appear in football, but there are many football directors with top-level design capabilities in football, will Manchester United build a complete management system this time?
