Manchester United looking to steal Marcel Brands?

An article in The Mail claims that Manchester United are lining up Everton's Marcel Brands to be their first Director of Football.

Brands is credited with the successful recruitment of midfield trio Allan, Doucouré and Rodriguez, and this feat, combined with his Everton contract coming up for renewal next year, seems to have encouraged speculation among the tabloids.

But there is no consideration given to the fact that Marcel Brands is a director on the Board of Everton Football Club, and may indeed be committed to a longer-term involvement in matters Blue, with Carlo Ancelotti as manager challenged with building a side to compete with the likes of Manchester United and other members of the Big Six at the top end of the Premier League.
