Christopher Vivell's best signings after Manchester United job confirmed

Manchester United this week confirmed Christopher Vivell as the club's permanent director of recruitment. The 38-year-old joined the club in the summer on a short term deal, and worked with former director of football Dan Ashworth.

Vivell previously held the technical director role at Chelsea, and was a prominent figure in the Red Bull footballing empire. As his role continues to grow within United, here are some of his transfer success stories from his career.

Another striker success story, Sesko has reportedly been sounded out as a potential arrival for Ruben Amorim in the summer. The Slovenian was signed by Vivell for RB Salzburg at just 16, and after an impressive loan spell was promoted to the first team.
