Manchester United board member Sir Dave Brailsford has been handed a crucial role this summer.

The INEOS chief, who reports to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, will be helping with recruitment.

As United still integrate new staff hires, such as Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, Brailsford will liaise.

Per The Mail, he is working hard as part of United's recruitment setup to find new players.

The club want to ensure a swift and productive summer transfer window after a poor season.

Brailsford is also likely to play some role in the decision to sack or retain manager Erik ten Hag.
