According to The Athletic, Manchester United's CEO Omar Berrada is not one of the individuals being scrutinised in the ongoing financial misconduct investigation into Manchester City.
Prior to his move to Old Trafford in January 2024, Berrada held various executive roles within the City Football Group, including operational director and director of football operations. His tenure with Manchester City began in 2011, precisely during a period that has come under intense scrutiny.
Despite his senior positions at the club, Berrada has never been called to give evidence in Premier League hearings and is not mentioned in the Football Leaks archive. Upon his transition to Manchester United, the club's hierarchy directly questioned him about potential violations, and he assured them of his non-involvement in any wrongdoing.
Manchester United now faces a wait for the conclusion of the appeals process before potentially seeking damages. This could see Berrada face off against his former employers, but it is anticipated that any legal proceedings could drag on for years.
