Hello Ed’s Paul Mitchell from RB Leipzig has been linked to the DoF role. In your opinion do you think he would be a good choice for the role? He appears to have a very good track record with regards to player recruitment from his time at Southampton, Spurs and Leipzig.

{Ed001's Note - looks a good choice on the face of it. Has an excellent track record.}

So we've moved on from transfers to new managers and new DOF. Does it ever stop?

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United already have someone who would be far better than Paul Mitchell in the role - it would be a dumb move to look to him for anything other than being a scout.}

Ed, is this the guy you mentioned a while ago, John Murtaugh.

{Ed002's Note - No, Marcel Bout.}

Is Marcel Bout the chief scout or something along the lines? Also, could Bout be an option for the DOF role Ed002? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - He is “something like that” and he should be.}
