Man Utd are looking to sign Christopher Vivell and he has an impressive track record in the transfer window.

Manchester United are not only looking to sign the best players in the summer transfer window, they are looking to sign the best recruitment team as well.

Dan Ashworth has finally been lured to the club from Newcastle, while Jason Wilcox has joined from Southampton. They will both work under Omar Berrada, while Christopher Vivell is also being targeted.

The 37-year-old has held previous roles at Hoffenheim, RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig and Chelsea, and if he moves to Old Trafford he would be tasked with helping United target the right profile of player and also help with actually signing them as well.

During his time at Salzburg, Vivell was labelled ‘the Erling Haaland discoverer' by German outlet Sport1 after he convinced the Norwegian starlet to join them over many high-profile clubs, but the Man City ace isn't the only star he has 'signed' during his impressive career.

A perfect example of the type of raw talent Vivell has signed throughout his career. Upamecano was signed or RB Salzburg FC, eventually making the move to RB Leipzig and then Bayern Munich.

It was a bold call when Adeyemi joined RB Salzburg from the German third tier for almost £8m, but it proved a masterstroke. He was so good in Austria that Borussia Dortmund poached him rather than RB Leipzig.

Daka was a smart addition for RB Salzburg from Liefering, where he scored twice to help them win the Uefa Youth League. He was named Austrian Bundesliga player of the season after netting 27 goals in 28 games and went on to join Leicester.

Mwepu could have been of the brightest talents of them but was forced to retire from professional football at the age of 24 after being diagnosed with a rare hereditary heart condition. He had shone at Salzburg before his move to Brighton.
