Guardiola betrayed, one element leaves Manchester City for Manchester United

Manchester City received a hard blow after it was confirmed that one of its most important men in the club's organization is leaving for the city's eternal rival. The 'Cityzens' lose a fundamental piece of the sporting project. Since 2006, Omar Berrada was the director of soccer operations for City Football Group and the English team. His main function was the sporting arming of City and he maintained a very close relationship with Pep Guardiola.

"I can't be in a better place because in these years we were in bad, bad times and the organization, starting with Khaldoon Al Mubarak, CEO Ferran Soriano, and Omar (Berrada), the people close to me, supported me in these bad times. That's what really counts, it's those people," said the DT when he renewed until 2025. After eight years at the club, Omar Berrada decided to resign from his position at City for good. And he did it to accept a new position: to be the sporting and executive director of Manchester United.

Berrada received a call from the owners of INEOS, the British company owned by multimillionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who bought 25% of United, and that was the beginning of this transfer that is shaking up the English soccer market, especially in the city of Manchester. The contacts were made with the endorsement of the Glazers family, the majority owners of United, as reported by The Athletic through its journalist David Ornstein. The information was also echoed by Fabrizio Romano himself.

Berrada accepted the proposal of the 'Red Devils' and left his position at City. He will have in his hands all the commercial and soccer movements at Old Trafford. With his arrival, a new era is born at United and everyone starts from scratch, including Erik Ten Hag. He will also be in charge of reviving the squad and starting to shape it, after the club was eliminated from the Champions League, being last in its group and not even qualifying for the Europa League.
