Christopher Vivell bombshell: CL giants ready to poach key United figure in fresh setback to INEOS’ transfer plans
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readManchester United risk losing director of recruitment Christopher Vivell to Bayern Munich, jeopardising their squad rebuild plans.

From the source
Manchester United are preparing for major squad reinforcements in 2027, but a key move from Bayern Munich could put a massive dent in their plans.
The Red Devils’ struggles this season have been heavily scrutinised and for good reason too. From finishing third last season to sitting 17th after nine games, the English giants have suffered a shocking fall from grace in a matter of months.
United are just two points ahead of 20th-placed Southampton and, while talk of a relegation battle may be stretching it too far, the team’s recent performances have hardly generated confidence.
