“Manchester United’s head of academy recruitment, Luke Fedorenko, will leave the club having accepted an offer to work for a major football agency.

“He has been a key figure in academy recruitment for nine years and helped shape the club’s youth development. MUFC wanted to keep him as he’s very good, but he’s accepted a new offer.”

He initially joined the Red Devils from Sheffield United back in 2017 as part of Project Bethlehem as the academy lead scout for players aged 9-11.
