Vivell's Possible Move to Bayern Munich On the Agenda at Man United

According to reports in the German press, Manchester United's director responsible for squad planning, Christopher Vivell, is on the verge of a move to Bayern Munich. The report says Bayern Munich have Vivell in mind.

The club's management has faced mounting criticism recently. Complaints about a lack of leadership and claims of division in the dressing room are dominating the agenda at Old Trafford. At a time like this, the departure of a strategic figure could lead to new operational problems at the club.

Vivell was brought in on a short-term, interim basis before the 2024/25 season. His influence grew quickly within the INEOS-led structure, and in February 2025 he was appointed full-time squad director. His role was to oversee the club's global talent scouting and squad building.

The report also states that Vivell's long-term plans have been damaged by the current chaos and the lack of results on the pitch. The transfer is not yet finalised.
