Hunter promoted to Head of Academy Recruitment by Man Utd

Manchester United have promoted Connor Hunter from National Scouting Manager to Head of Academy Recruitment, replacing Luke Fedorenko.

Last month Fedorenko departed United after nine years to become Head of Elite Talent for the  agency Unique Sports Group. United had been in talks with Newcastle Head of Youth Recruitment Paul Midgley – who had worked with Director of Football Jason Wilcox at Manchester City – but he opted to remain in the North East.
