Manchester United boss David Moyes is ready to
make a massive shake-up of his scouting system - after being stung by
criticism.United chief Moyes has been carrying out a review of how United find
stars after a faltering first window in charge at Old Trafford.And the new Reds
chief plans to bring in his own men, tried and trusted talent-spotters, as he
overhauls his team.
United took ferocious stick for only landing
Everton old boy Marouane Fellaini in the window, with poor intelligence on
other targets.Moyes wants staff who do not just spot players but know exactly
what their chances are of signing them.The Manchester United boss was on the trail of
Thiago Alcantara when he was leaving Barcelona but Mirror Sport can reveal the
main snag was doubt about his transfer fee.
Midfielder Alcantara had a fixed price in his contract
but United had conflicting reports on the cost.United sent chief scout Jim
Lawlor to Spain to meet the Alcantara family. The Irishman was also involved in
the failed bid to sign Cesc Fabregas.And Moyes was further embarrassed by the
Ander Herrera fiasco and the failed late moves for Fabio Coentrao, Mezut
Ozil and Sami Khedira.
New chief executive Ed Woodward infamously flew
home from United's per-season tour on transfer business but kept missing
targets.Rather than bring in a director of football - a decision that would
undermine Woodward - Moyes wants better and or effective scouts.
