"Manchester United are poised to make a significant addition behind the scenes, with Newcastle United's head of youth recruitment Paul Midgley expected to move to Old Trafford, bringing an end to his three-year spell on Tyneside. According to The Mail journalists Jack Gaughan and Chris Wheeler, the 38-year-old has emerged as United's preferred candidate following an extensive and competitive recruitment process."
"Crucially, he has previously worked closely with United's director of football Jason Wilcox, a relationship that played a key role in his appointment. During his time at Newcastle United, Midgley oversaw a productive period for the club's academy recruitment. Several promising talents were identified and integrated into the youth setup, helping Newcastle rebuild their pipeline after years of underinvestment at academy level."
