Former Man Utd player Omar Berrada’s revelation sends shockwaves through Man City
City’s rise to success over the past decade is largely attributed to the injection of wealth from Abu Dhabi. However, it is widely acknowledged that the club’s success also stems from being well-managed. Berrada, a central figure in City’s operations, was seen as the natural successor to the director of football, Txiki Begiristain. Having joined City from Barcelona in 2011, Berrada held various positions within the club before his final role. He had also contributed to Barcelona’s success during his time there.
Ferdinand, in a conversation on his YouTube channel, revealed that employees at City were surprised and impressed by Berrada’s move to Manchester United. This provides optimism about the significance of Berrada joining United and the potential positive impact it could have on the club.
Berrada’s hiring can be seen as an early sign of changes under Ratcliffe’s leadership. Ratcliffe is set to take full control of football operations following his £1.3 billion deal for a 29% stake in the club.
