  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The report adds that this new agreement will see Vivell, 38, carry on with a reduced salary – at a time when United are planning on making hundreds of staff redundant as part of a cost-cutting initiative.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Vivell will report to United's technical director Jason Wilcox, who has taken on greater responsibility after the departure of sporting director Dan Ashworth in late 2024.
