Manchester United have no plans to appoint a sporting director to work alongside executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and new manager Jose Mourinho, Sky Sports News HQ has been told. It emerged in Spain over the past 48 hours that Sevillas highly-regarded sporting director Monchi - real name Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo - is determined to leave the club this summer, with Old Trafford touted as a possible destination.As well as being linked with Monchi, United were also reportedly looking at Atletico Madrids Italian sporting director Andrea Berta, who has worked closely on a number of transfers and contract negotiations with Mourinhos agent, Jorge Mendes. Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo was a Europa League winner with Sevilla However, Sky sources have learned there are no plans in place to make any such appointment at Manchester United, with Mourinho and Woodward set to conduct the clubs business in the transfer market together - with the considerable support of Mendes behind them.Woodward has been criticised for his handling of Uniteds recent transfer activity, leading to reports a sporting director would be appointed to add experience in the market to the clubs current management structure.

There was also the strange situation in 2013 where it emerged imposters claimed to be acting for Manchester United in a bungled attempt to sign Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao. The midfielder remained at the club that summer, but went on to join United a year later. Ander Herrera joined United a year after a bungled attempt by imposters to sign him from Athletic Bilbao In addition, the fee United paid Monaco for Anthony Martial raised eyebrows in football circles. It was understood Martial was available for considerably less than the amount United paid for him, had they acted earlier in the summer.Reports claimed United could pay as much as £61.5m if all the clauses in Martials transfer are met, while Tottenham were quoted a much lower figure weeks before the player moved to Old Trafford.Mourinho himself endured a frustrating transfer window at Chelsea last summer. The club saw three bids for John Stones rejected by Everton and sold left-back Filipe Luis without having a replacement ready to come in, meaning Augsburg were able to hold out for over £20m for Baba Rahman. United are thought to have paid far more for Anthony Martial than he had been available for, a few weeks before his transfer to Old Trafford Meanwhile, Sevilla have said they expect Monchi to honour his contract at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. His current deal runs until 2020, although Everton remain an option for him if he is able to negotiate his way out of the club.Everton are keen on the idea of appointing a sporting director to help them rebuild their squad after the recent investment of Farhad Moshiri.The club expect to receive bids this summer for Stones and Romelu Lukaku and are keen on the appointment of an experienced sporting director to strengthen their current management structure.

Dani Alves is one of the players Monchi is credited with unearthing during his time in Spain with Sevilla It has been reported Moshiri has already held talks with Sevilla manager Unai Emery, who last month led the club to a third successive Europa League title.Sky Sports News HQ has been told Emery and Monchi would both welcome the chance to work together in England in the future, should the right opportunity arise.

Louise Hogrell stopped the Tigers first shot on goal in the 13th minute.The Tigers rolled one passed the line in the 20th minute, but were called offside.

We had a few chances and if we had put one of those away we would have put a lot of pressure on them. Im proud of our effort. I thought there were times where we could have gave in, but we never did. We kept battling. I wish we would have gotten the result here, but again, theres a lot more soccer in front of us and I think we learned a lot on the evening.Georgia returns to Athens for a weekend of home matches, facing Samford on Friday at 7 p.m. and Cal State Fullerton Sunday at 1 p.m. ' ' '
