Tom Keane, who worked with Manchester United in the summer as the head of the club’s football negotiations, had a huge role to play in the signings of both Anthony and Casemiro. His position was a temporary one, but it was largely expected that he would return to the role on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n
However, David Ornstein has reported<\/a> that he will not be returning to his previous role, stating that: “Keane has returned to Brandsmiths, where he specialises in the legal side of sporting contracts.”<\/p>\n Ornstein also explained that the uncertainty surrounding the owners of the club was a factor in the decision as some appointments were “on hold while the Glazer family go through a sale process.”<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Tom Keane has left interim role as head of football negotiations at Man Utd.
