‘I played for Man City when Omar Berrada was there - this is why he’s perfect for Manchester United’

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Joleon Lescott has heaped praise on incoming Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada. United confirmed on Saturday that Berrada will join the club from City.

Berrada's arrival at Old Trafford signals a change of focus at United as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group await for their partial stake in the club to be ratified by the Premier League.

And former City centre-back Lescott has offered an insight into what Berrada will bring to United when he starts work at the club in the summer.

He believes the appointment is a 'top acquisition.' “Manchester United hiring Omar Berrada from Manchester City as their new chief executive looks like a masterstroke,” the 41-year-old said in his column with LiveScore.
