Revealed: Man Utd CEO Omar Berrada Gardening Leave End Date As Man Utd Start-Up Inches Closer

Daily Mail’s Mike Keegan reports that Omar Berrada, the new CEO of Manchester United, is set to start working in mid-July.

He was put on gardening leave by City after United agreed to sign him at the start of the year in a huge announcement after INEOS’ stake got confirmed.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe praised City for how they handled his departure amicably and put it in contrast to Newcastle’s stance with Dan Ashworth.

Considering Berrada’s departure was announced in mid-January, a six-month gardening leave would put his arrival by mid-July, which is exactly what this report states.

He is expected to lead the revolution at United with all the other appointments reporting to him.

So far, Jason Wilcox has been the only one through the door and he has attended multiple United games sitting alongside Sir David Brailsford.

Dan Ashworth remains on gardening leave as United and Newcastle remain apart on their valuation of the final compensation.

From Berrada’s point of view, his remit encompasses both sporting and financial spheres and he will lead the transformation of the club under the new ownership.

He replaces Richard Arnold and his arrival in mid-July will coincide with the transfer window gathering momentum as well.
